Three men are seated around a table in a dim, wooden interior, handling playing cards. One man in a uniform is present, and dialogue suggests a card game with stakes, including a mention of 'Douglas Jr.' and a warning not to forget to come back.
“Oh, you'll catch on to this. Yep, Douglas Jr. and I can take off the coat and belt.” 59:46 · “Oh, you mean I lose that? Well, you don't win. Well, maybe you'll win it back next time. Sure, it's pretty easy. Yeah, just put it over there. Don't get it, Franco. Forget to come back. I'm not looking.” 59:50 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.
