Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and resolved; themes: departure, reassurance, unspoken tension; style notes: medium close-up, static framing, high-contrast lighting typical of 1930s studio films

A man in a hat and coat stands beside a woman in a patterned dress; he holds papers while she looks at him. He says he is going, after she thanks him and he reassures her there is no need to worry.

“There's no need to worry about that. They took it all.” 19:08 · “Thanks. Just the same.” 19:17 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.
