Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: light and polite; themes: romantic gesture, telephone communication, social etiquette; style notes: medium two-shot, studio lighting, formal attire, staged domestic setting

A man and a woman stand in a room with flowers; the woman reacts to the flowers and then answers a phone call that is for the man. The man is addressed by name as Henry during the phone interaction.

“Oh, how sweet. Oh, they're wonderful. Oh, isn't that lovely. Oh, they're from you. Well, that's very thoughtful of you, Henry. Here, put them in one. Hello? Who?” 9:54 · “Henry, it's for you. Thanks, Sheila. Hello. Oh, hello there. How are you?” 10:20 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.
