Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: solemn and intimate; themes: guardianship, emotional reunion, formal domestic setting; style notes: static medium shots, formal composition, high-contrast lighting emphasizing faces and costumes

A boy stands between a seated older man and a standing woman in a formal room; the boy speaks to the man, who responds, while the woman places a hand on the boy's shoulder. The transcript indicates the boy is addressing the man as Mr. Brownlow and mentions being kept with him always.

“He's going to keep me with you. Always, Mr. Brownlow.” 70:09 · “How are you going to do it?” 70:14 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.
