Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: comic and chaotic; themes: consumerism, miscommunication, salesmanship; style notes: medium close-ups, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, crowded framing

A man in a vest speaks to a man in a suit and hat inside a crowded shop; another man in a white shirt and tie stands nearby while a man in a vest sits and drinks. The transcript includes dialogue about a sport coat and a bottle, and a complaint about a 'mess' bought at the store.

“Say, have you seen it? - Yes, sir. Don't worry about it. You've really come to the right place. You bet. This is the store where your dollars have more sense.” 6:58 · “Say, we've got the very sport coat you're looking for.” 7:05 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.
