Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: lighthearted and comedic; themes: social class, romantic entanglement, authority figures; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, studio lighting, crowded composition

A woman in a white blouse is surrounded by men in suits and hats in a crowded interior; a man in a captain's uniform speaks to her. The transcript includes dialogue about paying a ticket, sharing a cabin, and the Captain Himerian.

“I'm going to pay my ticket.” 73:39 · “Even if you've had a ticket, the cabin will run on me. Oh, hello, darling. Oh, no. Don't worry, Oscar.” 73:40 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.
