- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and ironic; themes: duty vs. personal desire, gender roles in wartime, deception and performance; style notes: close framing, high-contrast lighting, formal attire suggests a staged or theatrical setting
A man and a woman are in a formal setting; the man lights a cigarette while the woman speaks to him. The dialogue suggests a planned departure and a role for the woman to remain behind, with references to war and hunting a man.
“While the boys are mobilizing, what about a dance for you and me? Sorry, I'm just a little old-fashioned wife.” 36:31 · “Okay, you've got to stay behind and look after Mrs. Kaper. Oh, why?” 37:00 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.
