A woman and a man interact at a counter in a goods store while another man in a cowboy hat enters. The dialogue suggests a dispute over glasses and a warning against causing trouble.
“Come on over here in the goods store, Margie. Give me these new glasses, Ed. Well, wait a minute. I'm just getting used to them. Come on. There's nothing wrong with your old ones.” 55:43 · “Well, now, be careful with them. I'll be careful, all right. You two get in enough trouble without having these glasses to help you.” 55:51 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.
