A man and a woman stand on a city sidewalk near a building entrance; the man takes an object from the woman and speaks about taking it to the police station. The transcript includes dialogue about a financier, brass knuckles, and Alcatraz, with a call for someone named Louie.
“But you better tell that financier to be more careful in these hard times, you know what I mean? Sure. Unload him a pair of your brass knuckles, too.” 58:34 · “Now, don't talk that way, Hildy. Here, I'll take that. I'll take it to the station.” 58:34 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.
