Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: contemplative and slightly tense; themes: artistic creation, personal relationships, domestic space; style notes: high contrast lighting, medium and wide shots, studio setting with sculptural props

A man in a dark suit stands in a dimly lit room while a woman in a blue dress works on a sculpture in a bright studio. The dialogue suggests a conversation about marriage, children, and the location of a person referred to as 'genius'.

“When you and Harry get married,” 62:56 · “Why don't you go ask him?” 63:02 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.
