A courtroom scene unfolds where a woman is accused of lying about her whereabouts on the night of a murder, with evidence presented including a hotel registration card and a witness. A man in a suit is shown listening intently as the accusation is made.
“Yet on the very night he was killed, you had a rendezvous with a man named Burns, didn't you?” 105:42 · “I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know any man named Burns. I was at home that night, very ill. Oh yes, the sleeping pills.” 105:46 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.
