Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: intimate and conversational; themes: social interaction, introduction, romantic tension; style notes: medium shots, bar setting with shelves and checkered tables, black-and-white lighting focused on characters

A man and a woman interact at a bar while a bartender serves them; the woman introduces herself as Kitty and the man as Chris Cross. The setting includes bar shelves and tables with checkered cloths, and the conversation includes ordering drinks and exchanging names.

“No, not since he left here. Two coffees, please. I think I'll change my mind. I could stand to drink a rum Collins. One rum Collins? Yes, yes. Oh, come on. Keep me company. Well, I'm...” 10:56 · “Make mine the same.” 11:10 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.
