Model opinion, not evidence: mood: comic tension; themes: miscommunication, domestic humor, search; style notes: low-key lighting, high contrast, static medium shots

A man calls out for a dog named Sir Desmond near a picket fence at night while another person speaks from a window. The man is holding a stick and appears to be searching for the dog, which is not visible in the frames.

“All right, Sir Desmond, come out of there and fight like a man.” 3:20 · “Hello, Mom.” 3:32 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.
