Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: formal and conversational; themes: social perception, farewell, professional identity; style notes: medium two-shot followed by close-up; studio lighting; classic black-and-white framing

A man and a woman stand facing each other in a room with bookshelves and a lamp; the woman is later shown in a close-up. The transcript includes dialogue about psychiatrists and voting, ending with a farewell between Barbara and Matt.

“The general impression is, I believe, that a man who needs a psychiatrist must be crazy.” 25:29 · “And some people are rather reluctant to cast their votes for lunatics.” 25:36 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.
