A woman speaks excitedly on the phone from a room, while a man in a suit and hat talks on a phone in what appears to be a jail or police station, flanked by a uniformed officer. The transcript reveals the woman is telling the man he is in jail but they are now rich, and urges him to stay silent and get a lawyer.
“Where are you calling from? Oh, that's right. Mother told me. You're in jail. Guess what?” 61:42 · “We're rich! Filthy, dirty rich! Huh? You sound funny! Are you sure you're all right? Oh, never better! Never richer!” 61:46 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.
