Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: light and conversational; themes: sports, social interaction, miscommunication; style notes: medium shots, outdoor daylight, static camera, period costume

A group of four people, including a man in a tank top and a woman in a sweater, interact near a track with hurdles. The transcript mentions a stadium event on June 14 and a comment about someone being a 'shrinking violet' named Andy.

“Well, you see, it was the 14th of June. The stadium was filled with people.” 4:23 · “We heard all about that last year.” 4:26 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.
