Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: light comedic; themes: consumerism, miscommunication, gender roles in shopping; style notes: medium shots, static camera, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, staged retail setting

Three men sit at a counter while a woman in a striped dress and large hat speaks to them; she mentions wanting a sport coat and slacks for her brother and asks about the price of table gabardine. The setting appears to be a retail shop with other customers visible in the background.

“You mean henna color at all?” 10:49 · “It's kind of a brown-reddish. I never ate a brown-reddish.” 10:55 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.
