Two men are in a tense conversation about a crowd threatening a space gun, while a group of people in uniform stand in a large room. The transcript indicates they are trying to delay the crowd until a 'gas of peace' is ready.
“Come out, the gun's in urgent danger. It's a race against time now to save it.” 82:59 · “Theodore Coppola is up with a crowd of people already. He's going to the space gun now. They're going to break it up.” 83:03 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.
