An older man with white hair sits at a desk while another man stands nearby holding a cloth; dialogue suggests a dispute over kitchen expenses and threats to deduct wages. The setting appears to be an interior room with wooden furniture and shelves, and the conversation includes an apology and a warning.
“Fang Wei. Fang Wei.” 1:49 · “Very bad night. You want me? I told you last month it cost too much to run the kitchen. This month you'll spend twice as much. Me very sorry. Cow hen eat very much. No more than they always eat. Either you're letting somebody rob me or you're robbing me yourself. Me very sorry.” 2:00 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.
