Two men in suits discuss a stabbing with little bleeding while a third man sits in a chair; one man then walks away. The conversation suggests a mystery investigation in a dimly lit room with a lamp and globe visible.
“But this was done with a fine instrument.” 12:28 · “The edges of the cut in his shirt and undershirt were bloodstained. Yet if the instrument reached the heart, there would be blood on it when it was withdrawn.” 12:36 automatic transcript, may be wrong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.
