Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: class disparity, financial pressure, personal conflict; style notes: medium close-ups, high-contrast lighting, formal attire, static camera framing

A man in a tuxedo and a woman in a draped headscarf and hat are in a room with large windows showing a city skyline; they argue about money and Cortland. The woman is seated and holds papers; the man stands and gestures while speaking.

“You're really quite a rat, aren't you?” 22:55 · “Look, Marilyn, I'm undead up to here.” 22:58 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.
