Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: casual, slightly humorous; themes: community, gratitude, humor; style notes: medium shot, natural lighting, outdoor setting, period costume

Two men and a woman stand outdoors in a rocky, open landscape; one man holds a basket and speaks to the woman while the other listens. The dialogue references a neighbor and Mrs. Worth, who treated a boil, and ends with a question about plundering upon boarding.

“Man ought to see more of his neighbors.” 41:47 · “Hey, wonderful woman, that Mrs. Worth. Look, she fixed my boil.” 41:51 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.
