Two men are in a dimly lit interior, speaking urgently. One man claims to be sick and refuses to perform, while the other warns that Las Dengali’s European career will end if she does not sing tonight.
“Yeah. I am sick. I cannot go on.” 68:53 · “But what about Las Dengali? She ever appeared without me? You mean you refuse to give the concert again? Yeah, there are no concerts. Then they will never be the one. If Las Dengali does not sing tonight, her career in Europe is ended.” 68:58 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.
