Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conversational; themes: family conflict, apology, absence; style notes: medium shot, static framing, high-contrast lighting typical of 1940s studio films

A woman in a patterned dress stands at a doorway speaking to someone off-screen; the transcript indicates she is addressing her mother and mentions Mary. No names are assigned to visible people because none are spoken in the supplied lines.

“Ahoy, Mom. There. The rosings are to you.” 50:47 · “Start up an apology for not showing up last night.” 50:52 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.
