Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: social reputation, interpersonal conflict; style notes: medium close-up, studio lighting, two-shot framing

A man and a woman converse indoors; the woman wears a blue shirt with a bow tie and the man a light suit. The transcript indicates concern about staying in a doctor's house and mentions people talking.

“Madge, I don't think the Doctor likes me. Oh, it's just his way.” 24:07 · “either. And I don't think you should stay here in his house. People are beginning to talk. That's ridiculous. I'm only thinking of your own good. I've told you a dozen times how fond I am of yours.” 24:12 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.
