Two men argue in an office over a baby in a box; one man insists the other take responsibility for the child. The baby is shown twice, lying in a box with toys, while the men gesture and speak emphatically.
“Willie, get that out of here right now. Nothing doing. From now on, it's all yours. Mine?” 4:46 · “I'll wager this was your idea. No, it wasn't. Now, I told them how much you hated kids. Hate them. Willie, in all the 20 years you've known me, have you ever caught me saying one kind word about kids?” 4:51 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.
