A man in a fedora is confronted by a woman in a dark coat who grips his shoulder; another man in a suit stands nearby. The transcript describes a car crash with police, a missing woman, and accusations of handing her over to authorities.
“Holy smokes, what's the matter with you? Where's the smoke? What'd you do with it? What happened? You been in a fight? Down Weston Avenue. We was going 65 miles an hour, you know what I mean? Take that mush out of your mouth. Where's the old lady? I'm telling you.” 75:35 · “We run smack into a police patrol, you know what I mean? We busted it in half. Was she hurt? Look, where is she? Tell me. Can you imagine bumping into a load of cops? They come rolling out like oranges. What did you do with her? Oh, judge me. When I come to, I was running down 34th Street. You were with her, weren't you? Was I? You were in the taxi cab. The driver got knocked cold. Butterfingers!” 75:44 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.
