Three people stand in a dimly lit interior space; two men and one woman are shown in profile and three-quarter view. One man says good night to another, and lines suggest an offer to help and a hope that talk is all it is.
“I hope it is just talk.” 42:33 · “I'll help him.” 42:39 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.
