A man in a suit faces a woman descending a staircase; another shot shows two men in conversation indoors. The transcript includes dialogue about a man not fighting for a girl and identifying as an employee.

“Devlin Warren, if you was my kind of man, you wouldn't let some dude walk off the pretty girl west of Denver without putting him some kind of fight.” 86:01 · “Does it show?” 86:01 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.
