Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and unresolved; themes: promises, separation, urban setting; style notes: close-up shots, high contrast lighting, studio set

A man and a woman are shown in separate close-ups during a tense conversation. The transcript includes dialogue about promises, potential actions if someone doesn't return, and a comment on smell and the subway.

“Maybe it's lucky for you” 71:55 · “I don't like it, and it's not lucky. You're right. If you don't come back, I might do anything. I might go down to the hotel to get you. Tomorrow will be. Tomorrow? I'll never break a promise.” 71:57 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.
