Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: reflective and slightly nostalgic; themes: heroism, modesty, nostalgia for chivalry; style notes: static medium shot and close-up; high-contrast black-and-white lighting; intimate framing

Two men sit in a room with patterned wallpaper; one reads aloud while the other listens. A close-up shows the listener reacting as dialogue references heroism and modesty.

“And so sang Sir Galahad with a thrust of his lance” 73:53 · “body just don't get no chance to be a hero.” 74:09 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.
