A man in a suit speaks on a telephone while a woman in a hat stands nearby in an office; another man is shown on the phone in a separate shot. The transcript includes dialogue about a proposal, a missed pitch, and a mistaken identity during a phone call.
“And I still claim I'm as tight the night I proposed to you. If you'd have been a gentleman, you'd forgotten all about it, but not you. Why, you... You're losing your eye. You used to be able to pitch better than that. Hello? Yeah, what?” 8:03 · “Sweeney!” 8:13 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.
