Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: preparatory, slightly chaotic; themes: film production, media, economic optimism; style notes: black-and-white, outdoor daylight, medium shots, visible crew equipment, staged action

A film crew on an outdoor set prepares to shoot a scene where a man in a suit delivers a line about prosperity. Several crew members and extras are present, with cameras and equipment visible.

“Now I want you to say a few words.” 25:04 · “Well, what shall I say? When I photographed the congressman last week, he said prosperity was right around the corner.” 25:06 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.
