Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and dismissive; themes: social class, cultural dismissal, conflict; style notes: close-ups and medium shots with high-contrast lighting; static camera; period costume and props suggest 1930s setting

Two men are shown in close-up and medium shots in an interior setting with lattice-patterned walls; one man speaks while the other listens, and a gramophone is visible. The transcript includes lines dismissing music and singing as gibberish.

“I don't think you're as foolish as that.” 62:25 · “I've heard enough.” 62:27 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.
