Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: marital conflict, legal separation, personal dignity; style notes: static medium shots, studio lighting, formal attire, symmetrical framing

A man and a woman argue in a well-furnished room; the woman says she does not want to see the man anymore, and he insists on staying. The dialogue reveals they are married, and the man accuses her of not taking the marriage seriously while she defends her position and mentions Henry, who is her lawyer.

“Eric, I don't want you here.” 52:17 · “Henry's my lawyer.” 52:36 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.
