Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: romantic, wistful; themes: love, longing, urban solitude; style notes: static medium shot, high contrast lighting, black and white, window framing the cityscape

A man stands near a window overlooking a cityscape while a voice sings about love and kisses. The scene is interior, with minimal props and a view of densely packed buildings outside.

“If you live without a kiss, or a kiss can bring a winter into spring. Everybody will agree, if you fall in love like me, you'll be happy, you will love it, you will sing. C'est la vie.” 75:22 · “There is nothing like that feeling.” 75:44 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.
