Two men and a woman sit at a table in a dimly lit interior, discussing a life insurance policy and arranging a medical examination for someone named Mr. Burns. The woman speaks assertively while one man listens and the other responds with hesitation.
“How big a policy? Oh, 25,000, 50,000. What's the commission on a hundred thousand dollar policy? Around a thousand dollars. What's wrong with a thousand dollars? We could use that money, Bruce. How long would it take to get him examined?” 22:37 · “Well, I could get a company doctor here in 20 minutes, but I don't like the idea of this.” 22:48 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.
