Two men in suits and hats are shown in close-up, followed by a group of men in cowboy hats playing instruments, and finally a wider shot of a room with several people including musicians and a man in a suit. The transcript contains spoken lines about someone being 'lame' and 'too stout' and should be a 'buccato'.
“He should be of a carol. And sleep where his blanket is the star-studded sky. And eat where the cactus goes his bacon will fry. Living in the open ought to do him lots of good for he should be of a carol. He never gets out. He's lame, no doubt.” 7:17 · “Got the gallant. He's much too stout. What do you think we ought to do? Why, he should be a buccato.” 7:38 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.
