Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and unresolved; themes: social interaction, rejection, unspoken tension; style notes: medium and close shots, high-contrast lighting, formal attire suggests a party or evening setting

A woman in a patterned dress is seen in close-up and then dancing with a man in a tuxedo; another man in a tuxedo watches and later approaches her. The transcript includes a refusal to dance.

“I'm going to go.” 39:46 · “Hey, do you want to dance? No!” 40:00 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.
