A man in a suit examines a decorative music box while holding a glass; another person is partially visible in the background. The dialogue references music and a character named Watson.
“It's charming isn't it? Quite.” 12:48 · “They all sound to me like a lot of mice running about on a tin roof. I'm afraid you have no ear for music, Watson. Give me a good old band playing a rousing march. You have all your silly little twig-tweets.” 12:52 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.
