A man sits on a ledge and is later seen reflected in a mirror while a woman walks away from the camera. The transcript mentions Sunday, holidays, and a date at Place Blanche.

“We love is very necessary. Fall in love and you'll be happy. Love is very necessary. Fall in love and you'll be happy. What happened? Don't you know? It's a holiday. Sunday. Everyone takes a holiday. It's Sunday. It's Sunday. It's Sunday. I have to travel with you. You always think it's Thursday. I didn't think so yesterday.” 75:52 · “Just as if paper to me. Let it be Sunday. I want to stroll on the boulevards. I have a date at the Place Blanche. Hello everybody. How do you like my singing? What's that good of it? You ought to appreciate the finer things of life. Who? Him? When you feel like that, sing. It's quite a good thing.” 76:22 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.
