Model opinion, not evidence: mood: light and conversational with a hint of romantic tension; themes: romantic courtship, social interaction, miscommunication; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots and close-ups, studio lighting, period costumes

A man and a woman converse outdoors near a brick wall, then the scene cuts to two people seated on a couch, followed by a woman walking past another seated woman, and finally a close-up of the first woman. The dialogue includes references to a dance, a bid, and someone named Bobby and Mary.

“Those must have been great old days.” 37:10 · “Don't forget, you accepted my bid to our dance.” 37:18 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.
