Two men in light shirts and trousers are in a living room with a third man in a dark suit; one is being held by the collar while another enters and speaks. A man named Bart is welcomed to Sea Cliff, and someone asks for a map and complains about being in an awkward angle.

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.
