Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and intimate; themes: maternal anxiety, female solidarity, fear of separation; style notes: close two-shot, soft lighting, focused on facial expressions and proximity

Two women sit close together in a dimly lit interior, speaking intimately; one comforts the other about caring for a child if something happens to her. A child calls out 'Mommy!' and a woman responds to him off-screen.

“Can I do anything for you, dear?” 78:07 · “Sit here, Betty.” 78:11 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.
