Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: familiar and slightly tense; themes: reunion, security detail, family introduction; style notes: medium shots, static framing, high-contrast black and white lighting

An older man greets a visitor named Dan Carlin at a doorway, then introduces him to his daughter-in-law and grandson inside a house. The visitor is identified as Mr. Carney of the Secret Service, and another man corrects the name to Baron.

“Hi, Pop. Got an old friend of yours here. Dan, you dirty old Irishman. Dan Carlin.” 27:12 · “This is my daughter-in-law. How do you do? This is my grandson, Pidge.” 27:28 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.
