Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conversational; themes: misunderstanding, social etiquette, physical comedy; style notes: medium two-shot, studio lighting, static camera, period costume

A man and a woman stand in a room; the woman holds a newspaper and speaks while the man reacts. Dialogue suggests a prior absence of someone named Gabby and an incident involving sparring.

“You shouldn't come in here when Gabby's out of town. He might think it wasn't on the level.” 9:18 · “Good morning, Plato.” 9:25 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.
