A man stands on a high observation platform overlooking Paris, as a guide describes the view and height. The transcript mentions Michael Blake’s return to Paris and a valuable glove in southern France.

“It started again one fine August morning in Paris. The years had been tough for Michael Blake. Everything had gone wrong. So Michael came back. For somewhere in the south of France, he knew of a glove which was worth a fortune.” 12:44 · “But someone had been waiting for Michael Blake's return.” 13:07 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.
