Model opinion, not evidence: mood: resigned and conversational; themes: reconciliation, confession, travel; style notes: black-and-white, medium close-ups and medium shots, studio lighting, period costumes

A man in a fedora speaks indoors, then a man and woman smile outdoors near a vehicle; a group gathers on a platform, and three people converse closely. A transcript reveals a character named Nick and a reference to being honest and coming clean with a judge.

“Rule it.” 51:14 · “Don't stay away so long this time. I won't. And don't forget to ride and take good care of yourself.” 51:16 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.
