Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: neutral; themes: urban street life, mid-20th century commerce; style notes: black-and-white, medium shot, street-level framing, natural daylight lighting

Two men in overcoats walk along a sidewalk past storefronts including a furniture store and a barber shop. One man walks away from the camera while the other walks toward it, both visible in a single street scene.

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.
