A woman in ornate costume stands and speaks in a dim room with wooden walls; a man reclines on a fur-covered bed. The transcript indicates an argument about quarreling and bullying, with mention of an 'aerial bus driver' and 'things behind him.'
“Now, was that wise? Wise? Yes, wise to quarrel with him at once. Quarrel with him! Quarrel with him!” 41:38 · “You must clean that up. Clean that up!” 41:47 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.
