Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: class, parental responsibility, social mobility; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, formal framing

Two men and a woman are in a room with bookshelves; one man speaks to the woman while the other observes. The dialogue indicates a discussion about the woman's behavior and her father's intentions.

“And I won't pick up no free and easy ways. Eliza, if you say again you're a good girl, your father shall take you home. You don't know my father. All he come here for was to touch you for some money to get drunk on.” 33:47 · “Have you any further advice to give her, Doolittle, before you go? Your blessing, for instance? No, governor, not me.” 34:08 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.
