“Now, where were you? Not now. I'm going to take him for a while. That was Brandy Lakes. You'd never make it to the corner. You're going to bed. You've got a lot of explaining to this. Later, later. I tell you, we've got to get rid of him. Right away. Now. He's the kiss of death. Get rid of her.” 48:22

Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and urgent; themes: ownership, conflict over responsibility, animal as burden; style notes: medium close-up, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, focused on character expressions and physical contact with the dog

A man and a woman are in a room with a dog; the woman touches the dog while the man speaks urgently. The dialogue suggests the dog named Archie is a problem they must remove immediately.

“About Archie. You're feverish. Your head's hot. Oh, Archie's hot. Very hot. He's the hottest dog in town. He's stolen. And once more...” 47:59 · “What's he doing here? I thought I lost him. He's not lost or even stolen. He came back all by himself and on time.” 48:12 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.
