A man and a woman sit at a table in an outdoor setting, discussing money and a studio apartment. The woman refuses to take money from the man, who suggests she could repay him by letting him paint her portrait.

“Oh, but Kitty... I'll get out of it somehow. I couldn't take anything from you, Chris. No, yes, I mean... No, no, I couldn't.” 29:05 · “I've never taken money from a man and I'm not going to now.” 29:13 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.
