Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and accusatory; themes: innocence under pressure, social hierarchy, public shaming; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, high-contrast lighting, period costume, crowded framing

A boy is surrounded by a crowd of adults in top hats and coats; he denies responsibility while being urged to stand. The scene appears to be outdoors in a public space during the day.

“- All right. - All right.” 21:47 · “It wasn't me, sir. It wasn't me. I didn't do it, sir. I didn't do it.” 21:50 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.
