- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: formal and conversational; themes: class distinction, patronage, child labor or service; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, book-lined interior suggests a study or office, costumes indicate early 20th century
Two men converse in a room lined with bookshelves while a third man, holding books, stands nearby. One seated man eats from a plate as the standing man is instructed to fetch someone named Oliver.
“Nice looking boy, isn't he? I never see any difference in boys.” 27:26 · “And quite different from the average boy from the workhouse. Ah, you're a sentimental old fool, Sir Nick. I beg your pardon, sir, for these books.” 27:44 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.
