Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense or socially charged; themes: social interaction, class, gender dynamics; style notes: formal framing, medium close-ups, high-contrast lighting typical of early sound films

A man in a tuxedo offers a drink to a woman at a table; another woman looks on with a concerned expression. The setting appears to be a formal dining or lounge area with other patrons visible in the background.

“Have a drink, Woodward?” 34:15 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.
