Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and hurried; themes: rescue or abduction, interruption of domestic space, introduction of characters under pressure; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, dramatic lighting with strong shadows, staged interior set

A man carries an unconscious woman through a room while another woman and a man observe; dialogue introduces 'Tennessee Smith' and 'moms' and suggests leaving 'Mary' behind. The setting is an interior room with furniture and a doorway.

“No, she painted. She thought I was the burger. Can you imagine that?” 10:27 · “Oh, hey, moms, this is Tennessee Smith I was telling you about. Tennessee, this is moms. Ain't she cute? How do you do? I've heard of you. Well, no, aren't you? How do you do? We got things to do. Let's get going. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Don't you think you'd better leave Mary here, Mr. Smith? Oh, yeah. Sorry.” 10:35 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.
