Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: formal, slightly tense; themes: social introduction, class distinction, romantic entanglement; style notes: studio-lit, medium and close shots, formal attire, ornate background

A man in a tuxedo speaks to a woman in an evening gown in a decorated room; another woman in a light dress is present. A woman reads from a paper while speaking. The transcript mentions a fiancé, a princess, and a hotel in Madrid.

“Please. All right. - Poor pig. - Angel. You came just at the right moment. Now let's see, I don't think you've met my fiance, Mr. Street.” 68:25 · “Princess von Steffen Grandview-Pjotten.” 68:35 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.
