Three formally dressed people converse in a crowded ballroom; an older man greets a younger woman and a man beside her. The transcript includes fragmented dialogue about a trip to Paris, a career, and plans to talk later.
“My niece. Oh, delighted.” 26:40 · “Why haven't I met this young lady before? Well, this is my first trip to Paris, and this is my first fall, and I'm going back to Geneva tomorrow. My dear.” 26:42 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.
