Two women converse about a man one of them spoke with, with one suggesting he resembles someone from a past incident. The setting appears to be an indoor commercial space, possibly a barber shop or adjacent area, as indicated by dialogue and attire.
“Donna. Yes? There's a customer waiting for you in the barber shop. I'll be through at 6:00. All right.” 43:52 · “Donna, that man you were just talking to, he looks like the one who was in the car with me that night.” 44:05 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.
