Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: light-hearted, conversational; themes: citizenship, humor, authority figures; style notes: medium shots, outdoor daylight, static framing, classic black-and-white film composition

A man in a suit and fedora stands on stone steps with two uniformed officers, holding a book and asking about the eighth U.S. president. The man then says goodbye as he turns away from the officers.

“I have a father to you. You're not a bad guy for a former. But I'm going to be a citizen. I'm studying for my examination. By the way could you gentlemen tell me.” 36:00 · “Who was the eighth president of the United States?” 36:09 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.
