A man in a suit sits at a desk in an office, speaking on the phone while a radio and other equipment are visible. The transcript indicates a police operation is being coordinated to search a neighborhood block.
“- Random radio is in this block somewhere, Captain. The estimates prove that. - Phone for more men. Have them surround the block. We'll search every building in this neighborhood if necessary, Captain. We'll cover as much as we can to help arrive. Jim, you take that seat. Come on, Jim. - Two, one, zero.” 58:39 · “Urgent!” 58:52 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.
