Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: formal and slightly tense; themes: social class, childhood illness, introductions; style notes: medium shots, static camera, high-contrast lighting, period costumes

In a room with bookshelves and a window, an older man in a coat greets a young boy and a woman named Rose, while another older man stands nearby. The dialogue identifies the older man as Mr. Grimwig and acknowledges the boy's recent illness.

“Good afternoon, Rose.” 26:52 · “How do you do, Mr. Grimwig? Good boy.” 26:53 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.
