Model opinion, not evidence: mood: conversational and slightly tense; themes: social invitation, roommate dynamics, college life; style notes: medium two-shot, static camera, studio lighting, black and white

A man and a woman sit on a couch and talk; the man gestures while speaking. The transcript indicates they are discussing inviting someone named Larry to a sorority dance.

“You know Larry, he's a pretty swell fellow.” 36:52 · “And so you ought to invite him to the state informant.” 36:55 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.
