Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent, anticipatory; themes: aviation, youth, obedience to authority; style notes: medium shot, outdoor daylight, group framing, period costume

A group of young people in aviator gear stand outdoors near an airfield, discussing planes landing and where to get a ship. One person references Tommy’s instruction to keep the field clear.

“Yeah, we better scram. You know what Tommy said about keeping the field clear. Planes to land. Where do I get my ship?” 3:11 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.
