Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: casual and conversational; themes: departure, social plans, arrival; style notes: medium shots, natural daylight, outdoor setting with minimal props

Two men converse on a pebbled shore near a wooden structure; one mentions waiting for the Captain and having a date with Joplin, while another arrives. The setting includes a beach and a hillside, with one man holding a coat.

“Hey! Hey, Mike! Mike! Huh?” 15:53 · “Oh, we wait for you, Captain. Well, I'm staying ashore. I've got a date with Joplin. Where's Bert?” 15:57 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.
