Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent; themes: rescue, departure, coastal setting; style notes: two medium shots, natural daylight, outdoor setting, costume suggests 1930s beachwear

Three men in swimwear pull a small boat onto a pebbled shore while a ship is visible offshore; in a separate shot, a man in a sailor’s cap talks to a woman in dark clothing near a wooden structure. A voice says 'Come back here with us.'

“Come back here with us.” 16:19 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.
