Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense, uncertain; themes: naval duty, mechanical operation, uncertainty; style notes: black-and-white, medium and close-up shots, high contrast lighting on water

A man in a sailor's uniform is shown rowing a small boat on open water. A close-up shows hands manipulating a mechanical device on a surface, possibly a ship's deck or interior.

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.
