Also said
“First, I want to see your ship. She ain't exactly a boudoir below death. Never mind. I grew up at sea on my father's schooner. I'll show you about. If you go for it, hold your nose. Oh, I know. We carried copper, too. I don't mind it. Come on, Doctor.” 27:50

Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: casual and slightly tense, with hints of humor and maritime familiarity; themes: introductions, maritime life, group dynamics; style notes: medium shots, natural daylight, outdoor shipboard setting, period costume

Three people interact on a ship's deck; one man is introduced as Captain Bill Jones and another as Mr. Guy Warren. A woman and a man in a suit are also present, and the group prepares to tour the ship.

“Careful, will you? You don't need to tear my arm out of its socket.” 27:37 · “Thought you had some meat on those bones. Oh, Captain Bill Jones, Mr. Guy Warren. How do you do, Captain?” 27:42 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.
