Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: intimate, slightly tense; themes: age difference, social roles, romantic tension; style notes: close-up framing, chiaroscuro lighting, period costume, static camera

A woman sits at a table with a lit lamp and decorative objects while speaking with a man off-screen. The dialogue reveals she is named Kitty, works late, and is an actress; he is older, possibly in his 50s, and tries to guess his profession.

“Gee, I'm a sight. I'm a sight.” 12:02 · “Kitty.” 12:19 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.
