Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and excited; themes: horse racing, gambling, spectator culture; style notes: black-and-white, medium shot of spectators, high contrast lighting, static camera

A group of spectators at a racetrack watches a horse race; one man in a brown vest is mentioned in the commentary. A character named Skyrocket is urged to act as the race progresses.

“half his brown vest by a length has the guy is checked by three lengths invincible the third wheel ride in fourth lance rod is fifth and skyrocket i get shot or something what's that chair that partner of yours belongs back in jail well the honor he is go get him uh right and skyrocket come on skyrocket come on come on skyrocket on the back stretch his brown best still leave” 68:43 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.
