Interpretation

A woman holds a photograph of a man while two men walk through foliage; a small object lies on the ground near feet. The transcript mentions men being nearby at Birhalla, visible occasionally from a compound.

“At Birhalla, we knew it twofold because our men were nearby.” 30:48 · “Only a few hundred yards down the road in their own compound. And now and then we could see them, a glimpse anyway, on their way to or from their work in the fields.” 30:52 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.
