Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and resolute; themes: loyalty, work ethic, conflict; style notes: tight close-ups on the speaking man, medium shot showing interaction, high-contrast black-and-white lighting

A man with a beard and suspenders speaks firmly to another man and a woman in a wooden interior, stating he will not leave his job. The dialogue reveals he has worked for Sherman Johnson and believes in his boss's judgment.

“And in the second place, I'm not leaving.” 11:17 · “I've worked for Sherman Johnson just as long as you have, Cal.” 11:27 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.
