- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense, intimate, pleading; themes: negotiation, emotional pressure, domestic tension, communication via telephone; style notes: close-ups dominate; high-contrast lighting; static camera; period costume and decor suggest 1930s domestic interior
A man lies in bed speaking on the phone while a woman stands beside him; later, he holds the woman close as she leans into him, and finally, both are shown on the phone together. The dialogue suggests a tense negotiation or plea, with the man calling himself a 'caveman with a college education' and saying 'this is my last word.'
“You can cut out that Darby and Jones stuff.” 53:47 · “A caveman with a college education.” 53:58 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.
