Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and formal; themes: identity, moral authority, social class; style notes: medium two-shot, high-contrast lighting, static framing, period costume

Two men in suits converse in a formal interior setting; one identifies himself as Doctor and is addressed as Mr. Cortland. The dialogue references a woman named Madeline Damien, who is said to be living under a different name and growing a new soul.

“I suppose you're being very ethical, but I'd like to talk to Madeline.” 24:52 · “that she was busy growing a new soul.” 25:03 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.
