Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: instructional and slightly comedic; themes: gender roles in dining, etiquette instruction, social performance; style notes: medium shots, static framing, studio lighting, mid-1960s/70s interior decor

Two women discuss dining etiquette in a restaurant setting, followed by a scene where one woman orders food through her escort. The transcript includes dialogue about ordering protocol and the actual order placed with a waiter.

“Horrible. Well, that shouldn't give you any trouble, Sandy. That's really no problem at all. You can find out all about that kind of stuff in any book of etiquette. I can. Sure.” 5:37 · “All you have to remember is to always tell your escort what you'd like to have. And then let him place the order for you.” 5:50 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

US Government work The record names a federal body as the creating agency. A work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties has no US copyright (17 U.S.C. 105; before 1978, section 8 of the 1909 Act). This says nothing about copyright outside the United States, or about music, stock footage or other material the film may incorporate. 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.
