Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent and slightly tense; themes: haste, health neglect, hotel service; style notes: medium shot, studio lighting, three-person composition centered on desk interaction

A man in a fedora and suit asks at a desk whether Mr. Peabody has arrived; another man in a bowler hat behind the desk confirms he went to his room. The man in the fedora, identified as Mr. Edwards, dismisses medical advice and says he has no time for a doctor.

“Can you get up?” 67:17 · “Did Mr. Peabody come... That's a nasty cold you have, Mr. Edwards. Doing anything for it? Yeah, just made it worse. Please, has Mr. Peabody come in here? Yes, he went up to his room a short time ago. Oh, much obliged. Come, we must hire...” 67:23 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.
