Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: light, conversational; themes: everyday errands, humor through dialogue, social interaction in a small-town setting; style notes: medium shots, static camera, high-contrast lighting typical of 1940s studio films

A woman and two men are in a shop; one man gives another an order for groceries. A handwritten list of items is shown. Dialogue mentions a horse, a bet, and glasses.

“I'd like to ride him sometime, Abner, and see if he has any spirits.” 26:32 · “And the squire, being a sportsman, wouldn't want you and Lon to pass up a good bet, I'm sure.” 26:36 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.
