Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and reluctant; themes: reluctant acceptance, social obligation, romantic pressure; style notes: medium two-shot, studio lighting, static framing, 1930s costume design

A man and a woman sit on a couch; the man speaks while placing his arm around the woman. The woman appears reluctant as he offers something she declines.

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.
