Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: bittersweet farewell; themes: farewell, dependency, travel; style notes: static medium shot, high-contrast lighting, ornate decor suggests luxury setting

A woman in a light dress stands near an ornate wall as a uniformed man and a woman in dark attire stand in an elevator doorway. The transcript includes dialogue about Paris and saying goodbye.

“He's your man, isn't it? Oh, Aunt Kate, you're a darling. What would I ever do without you?” 69:54 · “But when you get to Paris and you still can't do without me. Then, Farley. Goodbye.” 70:01 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.
