Two men are in a room with a counter and bottles; one in a suit confronts the other, who wears a light robe, about his whereabouts on the night of a murder. The transcript shows an accusatory exchange where the man in the robe initially denies going out, then admits to leaving around 10:30, and refuses to answer further questions.
“You're lying, you know.” 36:30 · “Look here, you haven't any right to come here and find a third degree me. You don't care to answer? No, I don't.” 36:44 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.
