Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and pleading; themes: deception, authority, redemption, youth in crisis; style notes: close-up shots of the woman's face, medium shot of group interaction, high-contrast lighting typical of 1940s noir

A young woman with blonde hair speaks emotionally while being observed by three men in a dimly lit interior. One man gestures toward her while another holds a globe, and a third man touches his chin thoughtfully.

“I lied to you. I'm only 18. When my parents died, I went to live with my aunt and she was mean to me. She beat me. Then she got married and there were two to beat me. That's why I ran away. They had me put in that reform school and it was just like a prison. That's why I ran away from there too. Oh, please, monsieur, don't turn me in. I'm not a bad girl. You couldn't be with those eyes.” 11:25 · “And that expression? In the sea of hands.” 11:40 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.
