Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and anticipatory; themes: departure, family, time-sensitive travel; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, period costume, theatrical staging

A woman sits in a room while a man leans over her; later, a man and a woman stand on a ship's deck looking at the sea. The transcript mentions a sister named Jo sailing from France and confirms the time as 4:15.

“- Geraldine! - What?” 13:05 · “I say your sister Jo must be sailing from France about now. That's right.” 13:12 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.
