Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: light and conversational, with moments of pride and humor; themes: creative achievement, domestic partnership, value of art; style notes: medium close-ups, static framing, studio lighting, period costume and set design

A man and a woman converse in an office-like interior; she announces she sold a picture, and he reacts with pride. The setting includes a desk, typewriter, and bookshelves, and the dialogue references manuscript covers and a floor walker.

“Say, did you buy these new manuscript covers?” 32:17 · “Oh, nothing at all, huh? You know you can buy a pair of good mice for 20 cents? Ha ha ha! David, I have some wonderful news. I just sold a picture.” 32:26 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.
