A man in classical attire speaks to a crowd at night, arguing for surrender against overwhelming Persian odds; a woman in a green hooded cloak is shown among the listeners. The scene includes a statue and classical architecture, suggesting a public assembly.
“Only strength, the number of armed men is what counts. Thord against thord. How can we match the Persian power? You forget one thing, Theocritus. When a man fights on the side of justice, he has the strength of a giant. He who defends his home, his wife and his children, is a tiger before the enemy.” 36:20 · “that we surrender to Darius.” 36:56 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.
