Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: social and convivial; themes: social gathering, music performance, family or group interaction; style notes: medium shots and close-ups in a well-lit interior; formal attire and table setting suggest a dinner party

A group of people are seated at a dinner table in a decorated room; one man is asked to sing an Italian song and agrees. A woman stands behind a boy and a man at the table, and two men are shown in close-up conversing.

“Atta, girl, boy.” 11:10 · “How about singing one of them Italian songs you learned over in Europe?” 11:16 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.
