- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: neutral, observational; themes: publicity, economic comment, urban setting; style notes: static medium shot, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, typical of 1930s studio production, focused on character reaction to signage
A man in a suit and hat looks at a boxing poster on a wall. The poster advertises a tour by 'Gaspar Rutche' and includes the phrase 'Taking on ALL Comers Here Soon'.

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.
