Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: light and conversational; themes: horse ownership, rumors, casual dialogue; style notes: medium shots, natural outdoor lighting, static framing, period costume

A woman in a skirt and blouse stands near a horse while a man in a hat and jacket speaks to her; they are outdoors near trees. The dialogue includes remarks about a horse named 'man-of-war' and rumors.

“How are you getting on with man-of-war? We're getting on fine. We think we'll have a racehorse one of these days. Someone was telling me he don't brake very well.” 31:20 · “I hope he ain't a balker.” 31:29 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.
