- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: lighthearted but insistent; themes: social interaction, persuasion, leisure; style notes: medium shots, static framing, high-contrast black-and-white lighting typical of 1930s studio production
A man reclines in a chair while others dance nearby; a voice urges dancing to continue. The setting appears to be an indoor room with furniture and framed pictures.
“Yeah, see ya. Now I've got something. Come on, come on, get her. Let's dance. Come on. Get her out there. No, you don't have to finish that. Come on, let's dance, dance, dance.” 6:20 · “That's not bad enough. Now, come on, dance.” 6:30 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.
