A man is discussed as a candidate for a role, then faints and is revived by others in a room with framed pictures. A woman speaks to him after he recovers, and he greets someone named Marner.
“That's our man. He's made to order. I don't know. He don't seem like the kind of a guy that would fall in the line. When you're desperate for money, you do a lot of things, Mr. Connell. He's our man, I tell you.” 16:49 · “He fainted!” 16:58 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.
