A man in a suit and glasses speaks to a seated man in a hat in an office; dialogue reveals a plan to send someone to the woods for rest and a conflict over control of a radio program. The scene ends with preparations for a live broadcast from a country club.
“These paper dolls dancing on lawn. Paper dolls. You're right, Jimmy. I'm in terrible shape. My nerves are all gone. Doctor, what do you think I'd better do?” 55:04 · “You know very well that I have charge of the happiness hour during Mr. Haskell's absence. He trusts me implicitly.” 56:25 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.
