A woman refuses to sign a document without reading it, while a man in uniform pressures her to sign, citing the danger of making false charges against a Japanese soldier. The scene takes place in an office with maps on the wall and another uniformed man present.
“To make force charges against the Japanese soldier is to die.” 73:21 · “Then why do you lie? I haven't lied. I've told you the truth, but I know there's nothing to be done about it.” 73:28 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.
