Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: neutral; themes: maritime activity, crew labor; style notes: medium shot, natural daylight, static framing, no dramatic lighting

Three men in sailor-style uniforms stand on the deck of a boat at sea; one handles ropes while the others observe. The scene is shot in daylight with no visible dialogue or on-screen text.

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.
