- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: conversational, slightly nostalgic; themes: family identity, naval service, reunion; style notes: close-up shots from outside the vehicle, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, static framing
Two men are in a vehicle, speaking about family names and naval service. One identifies as Tennessee Smith and mentions his family's Navy background and a past ship, the Sinclair.
“Arkansas. Buck-eye, I think it was. Yep, Buck-eye it was. Because my uncle used to always call him Buck. You know, Buck left home when he was a kid. Ain't been heard of since. You couldn't be him, could you? When was he born? April the 1st, 1909. I'll always remember that because my mom used to call him my April Fool's cousin.” 4:22 · “It couldn't be me. I'm no April Fool, baby. And besides, I'm one of the Tennessee Smiths. How do you do, Tennessee Smith? Glad to know you.” 4:44 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.
