Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: light but slightly tense; themes: romantic obligation, travel as adventure, caution in action; style notes: medium close-up framing, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, static camera

Three people converse in what appears to be a vehicle interior; one man in a pilot's cap speaks to a woman and another man. A second shot shows a man in a fedora walking past equipment, suggesting movement within the same setting.

“with you. Say, why does everybody think this is an excursion? Oh, Tommy, we'll be careful, won't you? We've got a date tonight, haven't we?” 14:12 · “Of course. I'll be careful.” 14:20 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.
