Two men and a woman are seated at a table in a living room; one man speaks while the woman smiles and a dog is mentioned. The setting includes flowers and glassware on the table, with window blinds visible in the background.

“You were hurt, Mr. Wilson? Oh, nothing serious. Well, serious enough to raise a bump on his head the size of a billiard ball.” 27:51 · “The usual door.” 28:00 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.
