Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and intimate; themes: romantic decision, emotional confrontation; style notes: close two-shot, high-contrast lighting, studio set with soft background

A man and a woman stand close, facing each other in a dimly lit interior. The man speaks, and the woman confirms she is sure, after he mentions another person who loves her as much as he does.

“well it looks like everything's all set but i'd like to ask you one question” 70:25 · “The reason I ask is because I know now that there's someone else who loves you as much as I do.” 70:33 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.
