Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: interrogation, denial, authority; style notes: medium close-ups, static framing, high-contrast lighting typical of 1930s studio films

A man in a suit questions a woman named Miss Foster about whether she saw her father and received money from him; she denies it. A second man in uniform appears briefly, looking on.

“I must caution you on the importance of telling the truth, Miss Foster.” 39:00 · “The simple truth is that you did see your father sometime during the day yesterday, didn't you?” 39:00 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.
