A car drives on a road as people embrace outside a vehicle; a man in a uniform is seen inside a cockpit, and a face appears in the sky. The transcript reveals alien ships are approaching, a character named Derek plans to crash them, and a father-son reunion occurs before the ships are directed to collide.
“But he wanted to stay. Betty, let me take you back home. No, Grandpa, look, here comes Joe's car.” 78:58 · “The guide ship is about to land. We must go to meet it. Your promise, Derek. Don't you remember your promise?” 79:51 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.
