Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: intimate, conversational; themes: personal concern, unspoken tension; style notes: close-up framing, soft lighting, black-and-white film stock, two-shot composition

Two women are shown in close-up, one wearing a hat with a bow, the other smiling at her; no location or time of day is established. One woman speaks about worrying when the other is out of sight, and there is a brief exchange about not asking someone something.

“Sometimes I worried about you being out of my sight for so long.” 28:39 · “You didn't ask her.” 28:47 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.
