Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: comic distress; themes: physical comedy, caregiving, misunderstanding; style notes: medium two-shot, static camera, high-contrast lighting typical of 1930s studio comedies

Two men are in a room; one stands holding a hat and papers while the other lies on a bed. Spoken lines suggest one is distressed and the other is attending to him with water and a towel.

“I'm sorry.” 13:16 · “Put some water on my head.” 13:27 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.
