A woman in a bedroom refuses a man's offer to help her, stating she doesn't need his advice or help and bids him good night in multiple languages. The man stands nearby as she turns away, holding a fur stole.

“Well, I was only going to suggest that you sleep in the other room and I could sleep here. I've slept without sheets before. Oh, so have I.” 59:50 · “No, I don't need your help and I don't want your advice. You were very kind and I am duly grateful. Danke schön, merci beaucoup, good night. Get the idea? Good night. Buena sera, bonne nuit.” 60:00 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.
