Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and final; themes: parting, confrontation, finality; style notes: medium shot, static framing, high contrast lighting, studio set with minimal props

A man and a woman stand facing each other in a dimly lit interior, exchanging final words before parting. The man warns her that returning will be pointless, and she replies with a farewell.

“you to go. It's a waste of time. If you go now, there'll be no use in your coming back. You thought it all out pretty clearly, haven't you?” 80:00 · “And I advise you to do the same. All right. Goodbye.” 80:08 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.
