Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: melancholic; themes: disillusionment, value of money; style notes: tight close-up, high-contrast black and white lighting, focused on the actor's expression

A man in a suit is shown in close-up, looking downcast. The transcript reveals his internal monologue dismissing money as worthless.

“So when this drunk handed me a 10 spot after a request, I couldn't get very excited. What was it I asked myself? A piece of paper calling with germs.” 11:38 · “It couldn't buy anything I wanted. It couldn't...” 11:45 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.
