Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense but relieved; themes: miscommunication, unexpected reunion, obstacle to entry; style notes: medium close-up, high contrast lighting, static framing

A man leans through a window to speak with a woman holding a dog and luggage outside at night; he explains he must climb through the window because his man locked up, and she hands him a dog named Clara.

“I had to ride all the way to the next station and it was a long walk back. You shouldn't have done that.” 57:44 · “Well, I didn't want you to lose your dog and your luggage on my account. Sorry I can't open the door. My man thought I'd gone and he locked up everything.” 57:50 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.
