A man in a tuxedo stands behind a counter in a formal interior while another man sits in the background; dialogue discusses the value of a musical box and compares selling it cheaply to stealing from a baby. No names are spoken, and no period or time of day is established.
“Tension is offered for a musical box you couldn't buy anywhere in London for less than five pounds.” 3:02 · “It'll be stealing to let it go for 10 shillings.” 3:07 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.
