Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: dramatic, confrontational; themes: social commentary, Christmas, wealth and poverty; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white lighting, medium close-ups, theatrical costuming

A man in a robe with a leafy crown speaks while another man in a nightshirt looks on. The speaker mentions Clark and his wages, and the word 'Dutch' is spoken.

“Touch my robe.” 35:35 · “And you shall see how you are poor Clark, with his 43-15 shillings a week, which you so grudgingly dole out to him.” 35:39 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.
