Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and secretive; themes: secrecy, artistic identity, social performance; style notes: medium shots, static framing, high-contrast lighting typical of film noir

A woman speaks to a man in a room while two other men stand nearby; one man is described as being in bed and another is addressed as Johnny. The woman is said to be secretive about her painting and does not sign her work.

“No, Johnny, no. Oh, don't be so modest, Miss March. Now, you see, you got me in bed. She made me promise not to tell.” 58:26 · “That's why I made out like I didn't know.” 58:34 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.
