Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: socially tense, with undertones of irony or discomfort; themes: gender roles, marital dynamics, social class and behavior; style notes: static medium shots, studio lighting, formal attire, period decor

A group of four people are seated in a room with decorative plates on a mantelpiece; one man stands and gestures while speaking. A woman in a light dress holds a teacup, and an older man in clerical clothing looks on with a surprised expression.

“Oh, how terrible for you. Oh, it never did him no harm what I could see. He was always more agreeable when he had a drop in.” 44:48 · “When he was out of work, my mother used to give him two and a kick and tell him to go out.” 44:56 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.
