Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense but polite; themes: social etiquette, gender roles, conflict of norms; style notes: medium shots, static camera, natural outdoor lighting, period costume

A man in a turtleneck sweater stands on a dirt path near a fence while a woman on horseback approaches; she identifies herself as Helen. The dialogue suggests a disagreement over social norms or invitations.

“Sorry. That's against training regulations.” 35:22 · “Don't you ever do anything you shouldn't? I try not to.” 35:25 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.
