Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conversational; themes: horse racing, persuasion, character interaction; style notes: medium shots, high contrast lighting, black and white film stock, static camera

Two men and a woman stand in a dimly lit interior space, discussing a horse. One man, wearing a hat and bow tie, is addressed as 'Abner' and 'Squared' in the dialogue, while the other man and the woman listen.

“But after looking him over, it's my opinion, Abner.” 25:48 · “You're too smart to try to race him against a horse like my brown best.” 25:52 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.
