Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: marital conflict, regret, assertion of agency; style notes: medium two-shot, static framing, high-contrast studio lighting, period costume

A man and a woman argue in a bedroom; the woman accuses the man of being arrogant and regrets marrying him. She demands a pillow and covers, and a thud is heard.

“All right, go ahead and do them. Do one of the APs. And I'm putting an end to this business of being pushed around.” 18:38 · “I've been in love with you for years. You knew that. That's why you asked me to marry you, and that's why I marry you.” 18:49 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.
