Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and theatrical; themes: marriage, youth vs. adulthood, social performance, sudden violence; style notes: black-and-white, medium shot from behind, low-key lighting suggesting night, formal attire contrasts with garden setting

A woman in a wedding dress and a man in dark formal wear stand in a garden at night; a gunshot is heard off-screen, followed by dialogue referencing Mrs. Tuttle and Henry. The woman is described as childlike and mentions bedtime.

“sick and tired of the word. Oh, no. Not you. You were made for it. You know, it seems difficult to think of you as a married woman, Mrs. Tutter. You seem such a child. That's right. I am only a child. And it's long past my bedtime. Good night.” 50:13 · “*gunshot*” 50:49 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.
