Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: social observation, gender roles, class and behavior; style notes: medium shots, static camera, high-contrast lighting, formal composition

Two men and a woman are in a room with bookshelves; one man stands and gestures while speaking, another sits listening, and the woman is seated with her back to the camera. The dialogue suggests a discussion about the woman's changed behavior and grammar.

“And you see the way she snaps up any little hints I happen to drop. Surely you notice a change in her deportment.” 73:16 · “Not to mention her grammar.” 73:22 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.
