A man in formal wear speaks to a woman and another man in a dimly lit room with stone walls and a piano. The transcript includes dialogue about attention, concentration, and being sent to bed like children.
“Thank you. What did I tell you? It smacks the main ivory, eh, Rinsford? It was splendid. Don't stop, please. No, you're afraid we are...” 25:48 · “I expect it's rather difficult for Mr. Rainsford to concentrate on anything after all he's been through. Oh, my dear lady, you are pleading for yourself.” 25:59 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.
