Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: calm, transactional; themes: daily life, rationing, community interaction; style notes: medium shot, natural daylight, static framing, period costume and props

A man in uniform speaks to a woman and two children near a milk wagon; another man greets them in English and French. The scene takes place outdoors during the day, with a horse-drawn wagon labeled 'LINDON'S' visible.

“I'll give her little girl, son. That's for you, sonny. That's all I'm going to give. Now, but let's stop him standing here giving out milk. All right, now, I'll be around again tomorrow, and that's all I'm going to give today.” 23:26 · “Good afternoon, sir. Bonjour, monsieur.” 23:37 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.
