A man and a woman are in a room with wooden paneling and plants; the man speaks about priorities and admits tricking the woman into coming, while she claims she didn’t read his letter. No names are spoken that identify either person.
“Miss Stevens, did you ever hear of priorities? I explained all that in my letter.” 18:47 · “I'm afraid I didn't read that far. Well, that's no reason for tricking us into coming down here.” 18:51 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.
