Two men discuss a stolen musical box in a room with display cases; one man holds a small box while the other gestures toward a larger, ornate musical box under glass. The conversation references the box's value and the oddity of a thief choosing a less valuable item.
“About five or six hundred pounds today. It's the gem of my collection.” 13:35 · “Yet a thief who steals an oddity like a musical box passes up one worth 500 pounds for one of almost no value at all.” 13:39 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.
