Model opinion, not evidence: mood: light and conversational; themes: domestic planning, romantic outing, intergenerational interaction; style notes: medium close-ups and two-shots, studio lighting, static camera

A man and a woman discuss plans to meet at Lincoln Park for canoeing, with the woman confirming an address. In a separate shot, the same man stands beside a seated older man while a woman leans over him, suggesting a domestic setting.

“Yeah, they got some dandy canoes out at Lincoln Park.” 54:51 · “Two bits an hour. Oh, I'd love to go. I'll be there about four o'clock.” 54:54 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.
