Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and ambiguous; themes: property, art, power dynamics, unspoken tension; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, confined framing

A man and a woman tour an apartment, discussing rent and artwork, before the woman leads the man into a bedroom where he lies down. The woman then urges him to leave, repeating 'Come on' as he remains on the bed.

“The sketches on the wall are Rivera's.” 37:19 · “Are you an artist, Miss March? - Uh-huh. Where's the bedroom?” 37:29 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.
