A man in a suit stands near a large lamp while another man sits in a chair; the transcript indicates a formal proceeding where Mr. Williams is addressed and told he will be executed. The setting appears to be an official room with equipment and furniture suggesting an interrogation or hearing.
“Oh, I'm awfully sorry. I forgot you were there. No, Mr. Williams, we have some further questions for you.” 44:57 · “Chair, do you mind extinguishing the light, please?” 44:57 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.
