Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and urgent; themes: marriage, legal intervention, domestic conflict; style notes: medium close-ups, static framing, high-contrast lighting typical of 1930s studio films

A woman in a wedding dress speaks with another woman holding a bouquet; the transcript indicates plans for a wedding and a request to fetch a lawyer named Henry Tuttle. The scene takes place indoors, with one woman preparing to leave.

“They came here to see a wedding, didn't they? Well, they're going to see one. But you can't have a wedding without a bridegroom. There'll be a bridegroom. Who's downstairs?” 2:07 · “- Get Henry for me. - Henry? Henry who? Henry Tuttle, my lawyer. But you don't need a lawyer. Oh, yes, I do. Now you're going, am I? Oh.” 2:16 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.
