Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: mysterious and subdued; themes: invitation, anonymity, obedience; style notes: low-key lighting, tight framing on one character, minimal visible environment

A man identified as Philippides is spoken to off-screen about an invitation involving a girl who will dance tonight; he asks for her name and is told it does not matter. The scene is dimly lit and appears to be indoors, with only one visible person.

“You are a fortunate man, Philippides. I have an invitation for you for my mistress. A girl who will dance tonight?” 9:27 · “What's her name?” 9:39 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.
