Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: formal and instructional, with a sudden shift to surprise or urgency; themes: instruction, interruption, formal address; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, staged blocking typical of 1940s studio productions

A man in a dark suit gestures while speaking to a woman in a light blouse; another man enters and interacts with them. The scene takes place indoors, with dialogue indicating a musical or instructional context.

“Now, you see, Miss Tinklemeyer,” 0:38 · “That's the way it should be sung. Shall we try it again? I'll try anything for you, Professor. Oh, that's fine, fine.” 0:39 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.
