Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: casual and humorous; themes: camaraderie, wartime humor, informal group dynamics; style notes: tight framing on faces, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, medium close-ups emphasizing dialogue and reactions

A group of men in white undershirts are gathered indoors; one speaks about playing 'Nipponese poker' while others react. The scene includes dialogue about returning to an activity and a joke involving two jabs to open.

“I'm going to go to paint and put me on that car over there and when they get busy again not slip out.” 15:03 · “Oh, this never bothers me. Laugh at all, I always say. Say, Doc, did you ever play Nipponese poker? Go ahead, ask me what's Nipponese poker. This will kill you. You've got to have two jabs to open.” 15:09 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.
