Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: casual and conversational; themes: decision-making, animal ownership, social negotiation; style notes: medium shots, natural outdoor lighting, static framing

A woman and two men stand outdoors near a horse, discussing whether to enter it in a county sweepstakes. One man addresses the horse as 'Starlocky' and defers to the woman's decision, while another man requests more time to decide.

“You're a good boy, Starlocky. Good boy. Oh, excuse me, excuse me. Well, what about him, Marjorie? If you say enter him in the county sweepstakes, he goes. Yes, sir. You're the boss.” 29:07 · “I'd like one or two more days before I give you a definite answer.” 29:19 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.
