Four men are in a private office; one stands and speaks while others sit and listen. One man mentions filing fingerprints and refers to a mysterious map and a woman's disturbed state.
“She's only dangerous if she's emotionally disturbed. You must have come across many similar cases in your business, Mr. McLeod.” 22:46 · “Well, I must get back to the office and file some fingernails, I mean fingerprints.” 23:01 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.
