A man and a woman converse in a room with flowers and a lamp; the woman mentions waiting for ice cream and a drink. The transcript references Mrs. Rankin, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Potter, and a fear of a murderer.

“Mrs. Rankin. Wouldn't dream of setting foot outside the house unless Fred were along. Who knows? He might be anywhere. The murderer, I mean. Waiting for a new victim.” 67:24 · “I hope you haven't gotten ill kind enough to invite me, Mrs. Rankin. No, of course not, Mr. Wilson. Mr. Potter asked me to deliver this. Oh, the ice cream is good. Sarah's waiting for it. I hope it hasn't melted.” 67:37 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.
