A man in a suit holds a gun while addressing a group of men in an office; one man raises his hands in surrender. The speaker references a record and instructs the men to 'swing' while another man is named as 'Willie'.
“Okay, then I'll back up. Now, come on, fellas, be sensible. The least you can do is put your hands on... Aha! Aha! Why didn't I think of that before?” 81:04 · “See this record? It's a little swing number. And you guys are going to do the swinging. Willie. What about Willie? Give it to me, Charlie.” 81:17 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.
