Three men in 19th-century naval uniforms and civilian dress debate the eligibility of a man named Reynolds to serve on a monitor, citing his past discharge and his technical knowledge of the ship. The scene takes place indoors, with one man speaking authoritatively while others react.
“Reynolds work on the monitor is finished. What do you know about it? He's reporting for duty sir. On what authority?” 36:18 · “I was given the right to select a volunteer crew.” 36:26 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.
