“To tell the truth, it is a blonde. Wouldn't you say, Dusty? No, no, I'd say this party's hair was more of a straw color.

Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: lighthearted and comedic; themes: humor through physical appearance, romantic or social interaction, cowboy culture; style notes: medium close-ups and group shots with studio lighting; static camera framing

A woman speaks while a group of men, including one with a bald head and a cowboy hat, stand together; one man holds a small figure resembling a puppet or doll. The dialogue references a blonde, a 'top piece' shot off, and a character named Alma.

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.
