Two men discuss a theft of a musical box in a room with bookshelves and a lamp; one man is seated and speaking while the other listens. The conversation suggests the thief may not have known the value of the stolen item.
“I gather you're a collector of musical boxes.” 11:17 · “Yes, I have indeed. Some of them are very beautiful, but not the one that was stolen.” 11:20 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.
