Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: intimate and contemplative; themes: personal reflection, cultural observation, romantic tension; style notes: dim lighting, close framing, focus on facial expressions and musical performance

A man and a woman sit close together in a dimly lit interior while a band plays; a saxophonist is shown performing. The woman speaks about making one's way and questions the piety of an African.

“Sometimes. Mm-hmm. Well, we all have to make our way with whatever we were given.” 21:38 · “Oh, hasn't that African got any piety at all?” 21:49 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.
