A man and a woman stand in a room with bookshelves and framed items on the wall; the woman pleads for a job while the man responds that he cannot hire her despite her honesty. The scene is shot in black and white with studio lighting and medium framing.

“I'm sorry, monsieur, but I was so hungry and I...” 10:38 · “But you will give me the job, won't you please?” 10:43 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.
