Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: class and education, gender roles, social mobility; style notes: medium shots with static framing, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, theatrical staging

A man in a suit speaks to a woman in a dark dress and hat while another man in glasses watches; the dialogue suggests a conflict over teaching and a woman's lack of a mother. The setting is an interior room with furniture and curtains visible.

“She may be married. - There you are. The girl very properly says, "Gah!" - Who would marry me? By George Eliza, before I'm done with you,” 19:06 · “The streets will be strewn with the bodies of men shooting themselves for your sake.” 19:13 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.
