Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: chaotic and frantic; themes: physical comedy, domestic disorder, exaggerated emotion; style notes: medium shots, high-contrast black-and-white, static camera, theatrical blocking

A man in a suit screams while seated; another man is held by the hair; a woman pleads with someone named Mr. Buzzard. The setting appears to be an interior room with furniture and framed art.

“I'm getting a headache! Oh, it's your headache. Oh! Oh, Larry, enough to put this down! Larry! Hold still, hold still, Larry! Oh!” 15:33 · “I've got a troll out of those. Now what do you say? I give up on Marriott.” 15:43 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.
