Two men discuss recent purchases in an office; one describes a female customer who bought an item for one pound and may return Thursday. The setting is an interior office with books and decorative objects on a desk.
“Ah, here we are. The first purchase for two pounds from Mr. Julian Emery, 52, Portman Square. Write this address down, Alfred. Yes, sir.” 5:56 · “Second didn't leave any name. Oh, how unfortunate. I think she's a dealer. You see, they don't like us to know where the things are going. On account of the profits.” 6:03 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.
