- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and social, with underlying conflict over secrecy; themes: secrecy, social drinking, invention and pride; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, formal framing typical of 1930s studio films
Men in formal attire and top hats gather at a bar, drinking and conversing. One man, identified as Mr. Bushnell, refuses to show his invention, calling it a 'monodont,' while others request another round of drinks.
“This is a good friend, Mr. Bushnell. I know, Captain.” 27:44 · “What are you doing in Washington? Nothing. All the great work has already been done.” 27:53 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.
