Model opinion, not evidence: mood: confrontational; themes: conflict over noise, business versus personal comfort, generational tension; style notes: medium shot, stage lighting, static framing, black-and-white film

An older woman in a dark dress and white apron speaks from a raised platform while a man in a suit stands behind her; another man plays a brass instrument. The transcript indicates a dispute over loud music being called 'business'.

“What about that air gun of yours booming all day and night?” 9:51 · “I suppose that's a baby's lullaby, you white-headed old baboon.” 9:54 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.
