An older man in a dark suit interacts with a radio in a dimly lit room while speaking with others off-screen about hearing music and bugles. He later claims to see paper dolls dancing on a lawn, prompting concern from others who suggest he rest.
“It's not the radio. Do you still hear it, Uncle Charlie? Yes, it's still playing. Mr. Hassel, tell me. Where does this music seem to be coming from? I don't know, but just a moment. I'll tell you.” 53:26 · “Here it is! It's coming from the furnace. Music in first. Well, listen yourself. Jimmy, please tell them it's New Year's.” 53:56 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.
