Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: reflective and nostalgic; themes: romance, nostalgia, ordinary life; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, high contrast lighting, minimal set design

A woman in a beret and coat stands near a man in a hat and coat in a curtained room; the narrator reflects on a typical romance. No names are spoken, and the setting appears to be an interior space with minimal furniture.

“But how we felt about each other, well, there was nothing very unusual in that. I was an ordinary healthy guy and she was an ordinary healthy girl. And when you add those two together, you get an ordinary healthy romance.” 6:15 · “which is the old story” 6:25 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.
