Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: contrasting serenity with underlying tension; themes: emotional dissonance, romantic entanglement, domestic intimacy; style notes: static medium shots, soft lighting, staged composition typical of early sound films

A woman in a robe reads in bed while another woman in a white dress smiles beside flowers. The dialogue suggests emotional conflict despite outward happiness.

“You can't be as happy as you look. I've never been so happy.” 14:45 · “I'm falling more in love with them every day.” 14:49 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.
