Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: casual; themes: social gathering, outdoor leisure; style notes: medium shots, natural outdoor lighting, mid-1930s costume design

A man in a light shirt adjusts his glasses while facing a woman in a wide-brimmed hat; another man in a shirt and tie holds a bottle beside her. The setting appears to be outdoors with trees and other people in the background.

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.
