Interpretation

A man in a cowboy hat is seen from behind in a crowd; another man is restrained by two others; a man in a dark shirt holds a bell and keys at a table; a boxing match is underway in a ring with spectators. The transcript mentions Tucson and a setup, with someone named Getschra being addressed.

“This is Tucson. Just stick your left to the space and cross from your right. - It's a setup. - I'll get it, Getschra. Keep moving around.” 29:27 · “Come on.” 29:36 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.
