Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and intimate; themes: sacrifice, personal ambition vs. family, negotiation in relationships; style notes: medium close-up shots, soft studio lighting, static framing emphasizing dialogue

A man and a woman have a conversation about children, work, and travel; the woman expresses a desire for a child while the man discusses trade-offs in life. The woman later agrees to change travel tickets after the man suggests she could go to Paris without him.

“I want a child more than anything in the world. Something of my very own to hold on to. Well, sure.” 43:11 · “Look, Sin, the world is a market.” 43:26 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.
