Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: light-hearted and conversational; themes: social maneuvering, romantic rivalry, male camaraderie; style notes: medium close-ups and two-shots with studio lighting; static camera; period costume and set design

Two men are in a room with one seated and speaking while the other stands; the seated man adjusts his tie and reacts to dialogue about a woman named Glenn. The transcript references a social event called the 'Fetty Informal' and a character named Murray.

“- Yeah, I know. - And what's more?” 35:33 · “Murray's a nice kid, but she's not as smooth as Gwen's.” 35:38 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.
