Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and abrupt; themes: childhood vulnerability, sudden emotional shifts, urban poverty; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white, medium close-ups on street, wide shot in dim interior

An older man in a top hat speaks to a boy on a cobblestone street, then embraces him; a separate scene shows a man in a dim room handling laundry. The transcript includes a question about going home and an affirmative reply, followed by an exclamation.

“Would you like to come home with me?” 22:34 · “Yes.” 22:37 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.
