Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: domestic, slightly tense; themes: rural life, family roles, change of heart; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, naturalistic framing, period costume

A woman in period dress stands in a doorway of a brick building while a boy in a hat enters; a man in a vest is partially visible outside. The transcript includes dialogue about farming and water for vegetables, and a character denies still wanting to be a farmer.

“Wild Indian.” 32:40 · “put water on those vegetables this morning. There's always work around here to be done. He wanted to be a farmer, didn't he?” 32:41 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.
