Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: solemn and ceremonial; themes: victory, ancient tradition, public honor; style notes: wide outdoor shot, bright daylight, classical costume, static framing

A man in a white robe addresses a group of athletes outdoors, one of whom is being proclaimed champion. The scene includes a title card crediting Bruno Vailati as producer.

“I proclaim you, Philippides of Athens, the champion of these Olympic Games. May you thank the gods for having given you the laurel wreath of victory.” 1:37 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.
