Two men argue in an interior setting; one claims to represent a widow in a marriage contract matter, while the other mocks his horse-racing judgment. No names are spoken that identify either man.
“I'm representing the Widow of Anassi, and...” 56:22 · “Well, what are you doing sticking your nose in this? You ain't no lawyer. Nevertheless, the Whitter Abernathy has asked me to represent her interest. I don't want to marry her, though. The whole thing's a mistake. You will marry Mrs. Abernathy on Saturday night or take the consequences?” 56:28 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.
