Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: mildly tense and comedic, with characters reacting to interruptions and shortages; themes: small-town commerce, miscommunication, everyday frustrations; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, static camera, studio lighting, period costumes

Two men are in a shop, one seated at a checkerboard, the other standing near a doorway; they discuss a ringing telephone and a customer's order for apples, which the shop does not have. The setting appears to be a small general store with shelves and a staircase visible.

“Those doggies had over the eyes getting grouchy here lately.” 11:28 · “I don't believe that seller's well. What's the idea of telling a cash customer we're out of flour?” 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.
