Model opinion, not evidence: mood: somber and intimate; themes: orphanhood, guardianship, childhood vulnerability; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, ornate set design

A boy and an older man sit at a table in a dimly lit room with ornate furniture; a woman enters the room. The boy asks the man if he will be sent away, and the man reassures him.

“They told me my mother died when I was a baby.” 25:23 · “You're not going to send me away, are you, Mr. Granlowe?” 25:31 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.
