Two figures converse in a futuristic interior while a crowd assembles below; a child asks about a girl, and a character notes an arm was seen two hours ago. The setting features large architectural structures and potted plants, with dialogue referencing a space gun and saving children.
“Where is this great experiment remain?” 80:47 · “How much longer we got before they go? When the space gun is ready. Sometime this year, you mean? Soon.” 80:50 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.
