A woman in a light gown and necklace is shown in a close-up, followed by a man in a decorated uniform looking upward, then a wider shot of the same man, and finally a shot of an audience in formal wear. The transcript includes a line questioning whether the woman is as beautiful as thought, and the speaker says they cannot see her.
“I can't see her face. Is she as beautiful as they think? I cannot see, miss her.” 53:51 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.
