A man in formal attire speaks to a seated woman in a decorated room while children are present; the transcript mentions Mr. Scrooge and his partner's impending death. The scene includes a group around a table and a man leaning toward a woman, with no visible outdoor light or clock to establish time.
“Oh, by the way, Belle, I saw an old friend of yours this afternoon.” 32:26 · “It wasn't Mr. Scrooge. Mr. Scrooge it was. I passed his office window. And as it was not shut up and there was a candle inside, I could scarcely help see him.” 32:48 automatic transcript, may be wrong
The record
No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
