Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: dramatic and public; themes: public spectacle, family, historical moment; style notes: wide shots, bright daylight, period costumes, staged crowd scenes

A woman in a purple dress gestures on a decorated platform while a crowd watches; a separate shot shows a man walking toward a group near a hay bale under daylight. The transcript includes lines about family, danger, and history being made.

“Well, what kind of a family is that? The best! And danger, sir. A fool on the race!” 121:01 · “Who cares? History's being made.” 121:15 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.
