Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and intimate; themes: romantic tension, caregiver-patient dynamic, vulnerability; style notes: close-up framing, high-contrast lighting, static camera, period costume

A woman in a nurse's uniform stands beside a man lying in bed with a bandaged head; he speaks about falling in love while she tells him to keep his eyes closed. The setting appears to be a hospital room.

“Keep your eyes closed.” 8:31 · “I think I'm falling in love with you.” 8:37 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.
