Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and intimate; themes: unannounced visit, domestic tension, time of night; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, domestic interior framing

A man and a woman are in a room; the woman enters through a glass door holding a bottle, and dialogue suggests she has just arrived unannounced. The man is seated, and the woman speaks to him, mentioning she rang downstairs and it is ten past twelve.

“- That him? - Told you I heard the doorbell.” 40:34 · “Don't you answer doorbells? Thought you were mad at me? Peace offering. Scotch. Thanks, honey. I didn't think you were out. It's only ten past twelve.” 41:13 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.
