Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: casual, slightly tense; themes: leisure boating, male camaraderie, mechanical discomfort; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, natural lighting on deck, close-up on interior tray

Men are on a boat, one holding a tray with drinks; dialogue mentions yachting and boat discomfort. No named individuals appear, and the setting is a vessel at sea.

“Five and a half and getting deeper. Take some, kids. We're in.” 2:12 · “- Mainer, Blaine? - Yep. Yeah. After this, I'll do all my yachting in the store. Oh, you're always crabby. That was the quart. Yeah, well, you can have it. I don't want it.” 2:17 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.
