Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: light-hearted and comedic; themes: social interaction, nervous anticipation, romantic comedy; style notes: medium shots, static framing, high-contrast black-and-white lighting typical of 1930s studio comedies

Two men in tuxedos sit at a table with a woman in a dress; later, four women in aprons react with laughter. The men request wine and three glasses, inviting the server to join them. One man mentions being nervous about his first marriage.

“What can I do for you?” 9:06 · “My friend and I would like a bottle of wine.” 9:08 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.
