A man in formal attire speaks in a room with other men; one is seated in military uniform. The dialogue references a committee, a contract, and warships, and includes a character named Uncle John. Another man urges action, saying 'Come on.'
“The committee has just approved the contract. Then you've made a mistake, a very bad mistake.” 25:38 · “I know your capacity, Uncle John, but don't you think... What else is there for me to do but drink in a town like this? You keep me here surrounded by politicians and gold-brainers? Why don't we go back to New York where we can work? But the Union needs your monitor, and sooner or later they'll realize it. They realize nothing. I tell you, I won't stay here another day. Not on nothing.” 26:12 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.
