Three men are in a rustic interior, one seated at a table and two standing, discussing a man named Mr. Raw who arrived wet around supper time. One man insists he saw Mr. Raw and that wet is unmistakable.

“I can't compete with no darn Dick Culler, and he ain't gonna try. Now sit down, Peter. Tell us about Mr. Raw. He put in with his horse long about supper time, and he was trippin' wet too. What makes you so sure? Cause I see him. Well, darn it, I know when wet's wet, don't I?” 42:03 · “And that's the truth.” 42:20 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.
