A man and a woman stand beside a car outdoors; the man speaks to the woman, urging her to stop investigating and return to town. The woman, with hands on hips, appears to challenge him as he mentions the time and their plan to search for someone named Sue Lynn.

“No sign of the log wrench or anything. My dear Mrs. Peters, will you please stop trying to be a detective?” 89:34 · “How many times do you think the police have combed this spot...” 89:39 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.
