Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent and tense; themes: family concern, sudden departure, reassurance; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, period costumes

A man in a tuxedo and another in a cloak speak with a woman in a plaid dress; the man in the cloak then departs. A second woman in a fur coat appears with a man in a cloak, and they speak near a staircase.

“Whoa!” 7:32 · “- Father, I want to tell you that I-- - I'm sorry, dear, but Captain Buchanan and I have an urgent call to watch you. - Oh, Daddy, has something happened? - I haven't time to talk now, honey, but everything's going to be all right. - Raymond, take charge of things here.” 7:33 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.
