Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and emotional; themes: family separation, wartime hardship, medical scarcity; style notes: medium shots, natural outdoor lighting, black-and-white film, focused on character interaction

A woman speaks with a man and a child in an outdoor setting; the dialogue mentions quinine, malaria, and a baby. The scene includes a woman holding a child and another woman reaching out toward someone.

“Did you get the quinine? No, I didn't. Did you send some? And we needed it so badly.” 49:00 · “Say hello to your baby. We don't know where... Oh, look what daddy's... Hello, Joyce. Hello, baby.” 49:00 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.
