Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: formal and transactional; themes: business transaction, social greeting, intergenerational dialogue; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, period costume and set design

A woman in a checkered dress and a man in a suit are shown in an interior room with wooden furniture; the woman is handling papers and later reaches into a bookcase. Dialogue mentions Mr. Hornby, Mr. Jansman, and Miss Winters, and references a bank and two-year-olds.

“That's quite right. Thank you so much, Mr. Hornby.” 7:13 · “Too late for the bank now, Dad. I'll have to deposit this first thing in the morning.” 7:16 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.
