A man and a woman sit at a small table in a furnished room, engaged in a tense conversation about a phone call. The woman demands to know who called and what was said, while the man deflects by mentioning traffic.

“Sorry. Well? My plate?” 11:16 · “No, I mean who was it? Who? On the phone. Oh, hello. After all, I have a right to know with whom you talk. And me wife. Huh? Oh, well, he was a chap I used to know in law school. He has a cottage around here somewhere. You'll meet him. I don't want to meet him. I want to know what he said. Oh, he said he wanted to meet you. Henry Tuttle, he said something about the newspapers. Now, what was it? Oh, the newspapers. I... Excuse me, the traffic seems to be getting terrific.” 11:19 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.
