Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: melodramatic and comedic; themes: suicide as joke, romantic rejection, friendship intervention; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, formal attire, theatrical staging

Two men in formal attire converse in a dimly lit room with beds; one sits while the other stands. One man speaks of drowning himself after being rejected by Georgette, quoting a line from A Tale of Two Cities, while the other reacts with concern.

“Stanley, you've given me an idea. What?” 14:35 · “I'm going to follow your advice. Good. And drown myself.” 14:38 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.
