Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: comic transaction; themes: retail interaction, comedy of errors, costume and props as character; style notes: medium shots, static framing, studio lighting, black-and-white

Three men interact with a woman in a shop while one man holds a garment; a price is discussed and agreed upon. One man leaves briefly while another holds a garment and looks toward the camera.

“$411, but there's a sale today. You get 10% off. That makes it $42.50. I'll take it.” 11:26 · “Oh, just a moment. I'll be right back.” 11:32 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.
