A group of young men are gathered around a large water tank outdoors; one climbs to the top while others watch and speak. The transcript indicates they are recounting a recent outing near mines and a date ranch, and one warns against 'squealing'.
“Now listen kids, get this. We went down the road to the mines to that new date ranch where they were irrigating.” 39:34 · “Anybody that squeals who went swimming gets the works. Understood?” 39:40 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.
