Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense but playful; themes: sportsmanship, urban identity, class distinction; style notes: tight framing on ring action, high-contrast lighting typical of 1930s studio films

Two men in tank tops spar in a boxing ring while spectators watch; one man teases another about his shoelace. Dialogue references New York and college as places of origin for fighting skill.

“I've seen that guy somewhere before. Yeah? Yeah.” 32:24 · “But I've never been in New York. Pretty good, huh? Pretty good, huh?” 32:33 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.
