Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense yet playful; themes: romantic tension, interruption, playful resistance; style notes: close-up framing, high-contrast lighting, natural setting

A woman leans over a man lying down in a leafy outdoor setting; dialogue suggests a playful or tense interaction. The scene ends with a line indicating the arrival of others.

“Charlie.” 26:19 · “Oh, you want me to struggle with you? Never on occasions like this. Honey, honey. Well, all right. But remember, I'm only pretending.” 26:24 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.
