Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: formal and slightly tense; themes: social interaction, introduction and identity, humor through self-deprecation; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots and close-ups, studio lighting, formal attire

Two men in suits interact at a table in a crowded dining room; one introduces himself as John Alexander Hartigan and mentions New York and wine. The man seated reacts as the standing man gestures, and the scene ends with a close-up of the seated man holding flowers.

“Hello, neighbor. Our host is here in Kongsbury, the jury from Australia. Mighty interesting country down there. I've always wanted to hear more of it. Hartigan, my name. John Alexander Hartigan. New York and wine. Well, not in Y, exactly. I mean, that's silly, but you do. I just do.” 16:28 · “How do you do, Mr.” 16:41 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.
