Two women and two men are shown outdoors in winter coats and hats, conversing. Dialogue reveals a misunderstanding about an engagement, which is then confirmed.
“I don't know how you do it, Connie. I've been falling down all evening, only to find that some folks can get engaged the minute they hit the eye.” 6:57 · “Julie, I'm just trying to tell you that Connie hasn't accepted me yet. Oh, then you're not engaged.” 6:57 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.
