A woman and two men are in a dimly lit interior space, discussing marriage and a county sweepstakes entry. One man is seated at a table with the woman while another man stands nearby; dialogue references fear of marriage and a humorous comment about 'Squire Frost at the mouth.'
“He can dodge bullets and yet he's afraid to ask a lady to marry him.” 48:53 · “Well, he might be right about that, Margie.” 48:56 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.
