A man in a suit gestures emphatically toward another man during a courtroom scene while speaking about a pistol's trigger. The transcript includes dialogue about a defendant named Gail Tentas and a claim that the pistol's trigger is too hard to pull without mule-like strength.
“What's the matter? You want to kill me? Why, it's preposterous.” 11:08 · “When the police broke into the office, they found this woman, the defendant, Gail Tentas, bending over the body of the murdered man with a revolver clucking in her hand, which only goes to prove that my client is innocent.” 11:11 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.
