- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: serious and analytical; themes: perception and physicality, formal discourse; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, formal attire suggests period drama
A man in formal attire speaks while holding spectacles; another man with a mustache is visible in a separate shot. The transcript discusses subjective perception and physical balance in relation to writing.
“His subjective mind.” 29:16 · “fully conscious of the loss of physical balance, tries to make good that loss,” 29:19 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.
