Model opinion, not evidence: mood: light comedic; themes: customer service, romantic comedy, miscommunication; style notes: medium shots, static camera, studio lighting, period costumes

A woman speaks with a male shop employee in a grocery store, ordering potatoes and macaroni while referencing another man named Abner. The employee responds to her requests and suggests she leave the list for delivery.

“Ha ha! All full of love and matrimony as usual. I ought to hide what I ought to do. No, sir, you stay here and wait on her. You're the one she's in love with.” 14:32 · “Morning, waiter. Morning. Oh, there you are, Mr. Edwards.” 14:42 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.
