Three men are in an office; one is on the phone while another speaks to him, and a third stands nearby. The transcript includes dialogue about a person's physical description and a reference to a doctor and a commissioner.
“Hey, but the biggest thing I didn't tell you, her old man's Doc Mitchell. You know that Doc saved my mother's life and wouldn't take any money for it? You remember that.” 8:26 · “Holy smokes, Commissioner, you've had 24 hours.” 8:39 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.
