Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and frustrated; themes: regret, conflict, unresolved emotion; style notes: black-and-white, medium shot, high contrast lighting, static framing

Two men in light-colored uniforms stand inside a dimly lit room with barred windows; one speaks about regretting falling in love with someone named Georgette. The conversation continues with one man suggesting pretending to forget, while the other questions how that is possible.

“Haven't I got enough trouble without you making it tougher?” 30:43 · “If you hadn't fallen in love with Georgette, we wouldn't be here. Wouldn't have to be... Will you stop reminding me of that? Here I am trying to forget and you keep talking about it all the time. Now here's another day wasted.” 30:48 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.
