Three men stand in a room with a musical box on a table; one speaks of auctioned boxes and a visit to Gaylord's auction room. The dialogue references Mr. Holmes, Mr. Crabtree, and locations including Golders Green and Hampton Way.
“That's the second attempt on the musical box that Emory bought the auction sale. And this time it was successful.” 22:06 · “But that box is only worth two pounds. It's worth a man's life, Watson.” 22:12 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.
