Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: lighthearted and comedic; themes: radio game show, prize announcement, romantic resolution; style notes: studio-bound, medium shot, black-and-white, theatrical lighting

A radio-style game show segment concludes with a winner named Olaf Swenson being contacted by phone; the host reveals the program was conceived by Molly McCorkle and James Haskell, who are then introduced as engaged. The scene ends with a group of people interacting in a studio setting.

“Oh, the name is Mr. Olaf Swenson...” 81:29 · “Horace got the call through on the telephone, so...” 84:13 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.
