Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: playful and theatrical; themes: performance, group dynamics, narrated action; style notes: static medium shots, studio lighting, staged blocking for comedic effect

A man demonstrates a hurdle race to a group in a room, with others mimicking his stance; he then sits with another man while narrating the race. The transcript includes lines about hurdles, a crowd, and the race start.

“Well, now let me show you how I really did it.” 10:24 · “And a hurdle here.” 10:28 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.
