Two men are in a dimly lit interior; one stands while the other sits in a large chair. The transcript indicates a plan to attack the Floss Valley and mentions being 'bottled up' and having 'airplanes'.
“I've felt they were getting ahead with their airplanes down there somewhere. Very well, now's our chance.” 43:05 · “We've got this fellow bottled up. They won't even begin to miss him for days.” 43:10 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.
