- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: nostalgic and conversational; themes: nostalgia for past technology, individual maintenance of obsolete machines, social commentary on resource hoarding; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, natural lighting with high contrast, static framing
A man and a woman stand beside an old car while another man speaks about its engine; the setting appears to be outdoors near a building with classical architecture. The dialogue references the car's past performance and maintenance, and one speaker denies being a petrol hoarder.
“Mr. Roles!” 30:13 · “It's a good pre-pestinance machine. I oil it and turn it over at times. You think it'll go fast someday still?” 30:17 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.
