Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: lighthearted and comedic, despite the jungle setting; themes: adventure gone awry, colonial-era travel tropes, comedy of manners in exotic locales; style notes: black-and-white, medium and long shots, high-contrast lighting typical of 1930s studio jungle scenes

Two men are shown in a jungle camp setting, one seated under a mosquito net and the other standing with a rifle; a third man runs shirtless through dense jungle foliage. The transcript includes dialogue expressing disbelief about their African adventure and a sneeze.

“Oh, this is ridiculous. After all, people probably won't believe us even when we tell them about this trip. I believe anything anyone ever says about Africa from now on. Oh, why couldn't we have done something sensible? Chartered a yacht and gone fishing.” 51:43 · “Even the president finds that exciting enough. Achoo!” 51:55 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.
