Two men in tuxedos converse at a buffet in a crowded, ornate hall; one asks the other to return quickly after visiting an uncle, and later requests a favor while drinking champagne. The setting includes a buffet table with sandwiches and champagne glasses, and the dialogue references dining and a prior promise.
“But if I let you go to your uncle, will you come back quickly?” 32:29 · “I'll be waiting for you in the buffet.” 32:32 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.
