A man in a suit and hat holds a camera near a stone building while another man runs down steps with three others behind him; a car drives away on a tree-lined road. A voice mentions seeing the Baron and taking a picture, then orders gates to be closed.

“He saw the Baron. He took a picture. A picture. Camera for. I take the hide off. Yeah, right. There he goes.” 28:09 · “More. Close the gates. Close the gates.” 28:18 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.
