Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense farewell followed by comic resignation; themes: duty vs. personal life, comic relief after emotional moment; style notes: medium close-ups and two-shots, high-contrast studio lighting, static camera, period costume

A man in uniform embraces a woman indoors, then two men are seen seated on a bed in the same room. One man speaks about reporting to headquarters and leaving soon, while the other offers reassurance.

“It won't be long, darling. - No, darling, but it's absolutely necessary I report to headquarters.” 11:50 · “I'm going to go.” 11:57 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.
