A man in a striped robe picks a lock with a hairpin; another man in a robe enters the room as the first man reacts to something off-screen. The transcript includes instructions to enter and play a game, followed by a warning to vanish quickly.
“It's always so simple. Just put the hairpin in the lock, give it a quick twist and... Well, come on in. Get up, we can play Jack Slater. Come on.” 49:31 · “Uh-oh.” 49:42 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.
