Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: polite farewell with underlying tension; themes: social etiquette, unspoken relationships, departure; style notes: medium shots, static camera, high-contrast lighting typical of 1940s noir, formal attire

Two men shake hands while a woman looks on; another woman enters and speaks to the men before they all part ways. The scene takes place indoors, with one man thanking another for scotch.

“Could be. Well, I'll run along, Kit. I'll go with you, sweetheart.” 43:22 · “Oh, don't bother, Johnny. I wouldn't think of letting you go alone, darling. You might get run over by a streetcar.” 43:27 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.
