Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and intimate; themes: preparation for confrontation, emotional dependency, dramatic tension; style notes: low-key lighting, tight framing, high contrast black-and-white cinematography

A man and a woman are shown in close-up, with the man looking down and the woman looking up at him; dialogue indicates they are preparing to greet someone. The setting is dimly lit and appears to be indoors, with no visible objects or text.

“We must go down and greet them.” 65:40 · “You must act naturally. Smile at them, you understand? Are you all right? Yes, I'm all right.” 65:43 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.
