A man in a suit examines a child in bed while two other adults stand nearby in a dimly lit bedroom; dialogue suggests a medical visit and concern for the child’s health. The scene ends with an adult asking why something was not disclosed.

“This then was occupation by the enemy. Business as usual, they said. Carry on with your lives and your work. At the end of one month,” 20:20 · “I no longer have my secret.” 20:49 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.
