A man and a woman stand near a sofa while an older man sits in a chair; dialogue suggests tension over a character named Blake and a woman named Miss Carson. Later, two men sit at a table with tea service as one asks about Blake's state and another's identity.
“Let's go before Blake gets back. Oh, he's not as bad as all that. Remember, this is my last day here. All right, run along then.” 4:56 · “I'll be seeing you again soon, sir. You don't have to tell me that.” 5:02 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.
