Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: conversational and slightly somber; themes: social interaction, winter setting, personal preoccupations; style notes: black-and-white, medium close-up, low-key lighting with strong shadows

Two men converse in a dimly lit interior; one wears a top hat and scarf, the other a tall hat and patterned vest. The dialogue references cold weather and skating, with one man declining to skate due to other concerns.

“How are you? Very well. How are you? So old Nick has got his own at last.” 49:29 · “Yes, so I'm told. Cold, isn't it? Please, a little bit of a crystal star.” 49:29 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.
