The beat shows four close-up shots of sleeping boys in a dimly lit room, accompanied by a voiceover discussing the institution's goal to help them cope with a difficult world. No names are spoken, and the setting is not explicitly identified beyond being a place where boys sleep.
“That's the most we can hope to do here at Wilkwick for any of the boys who lie sleeping here.” 61:53 · “to clear away some of the great harm they suffered in the difficult world they came from,” 62:00 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.
