A woman and a man face each other in an interior setting; the woman speaks about being perceived as playing hard to get, and the man responds with a knowing look. The scene includes dialogue about testing character and admitting truth.
“Better use up some of that before it's foil.” 55:10 · “I knew you'd do that. I let you stay to find out if you were like every other man who ever tried to get in here. Then you found out something, too.” 55:15 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.
