Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: comedic tension; themes: romantic misunderstanding, comic mediation, social etiquette; style notes: medium shot, static framing, studio lighting, period costume

Three people are seated at a table in an interior setting; one man speaks while another listens and a woman sits between them. The dialogue suggests a romantic situation being discussed, with one man claiming another is 'crazy about' the woman.

“Something to tell me? Yes. He's nuts about you.” 9:47 · “No, I don't mean that. I mean he's crazy about you.” 9:58 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.
