- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: light-hearted and conversational; themes: school popularity contests, social dynamics among students, humor through dialogue and reaction shots; style notes: medium close-up shots, static camera, high-contrast black-and-white lighting typical of 1930s studio films
Two men are seated at a desk in an office, discussing a popularity contest for 'Joe Senior' while handling ballots. One ballot is shown with a handwritten vote for 'Larry Haines' and a checkmark.
“Hey, by the way, how's he making out in the Joe Senior contest? Oh, nothing to it. He's way out front.” 9:18 · “He's the most proper man in class with the babes. Yeah, but that doesn't make him any easier to live with.” 9:28 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.
