Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent and farewell; themes: departure, farewell, seafaring; style notes: medium shots, natural lighting, beach setting with sailboat in background

A shirtless man speaks to another man lying down before walking toward a sailboat on a beach. The dialogue indicates they are preparing to sail as the tide comes in, and the speaker bids farewell to someone named Mary and asks that Jim be told goodbye.

“Well, tide's coming in.” 2:37 · “We gotta go out on it. Come on if you're sailing with me. So long, Mary. Tell Jim goodbye for me when he wakes up.” 2:40 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.
