Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and sorrowful; themes: farewell, duty vs. love, uniform as barrier; style notes: medium close-up, static framing, high-contrast black-and-white lighting emphasizing facial expressions

A man in a uniform and a woman in a feathered hat speak emotionally in what appears to be a station or terminal. The man offers to put her on a train, but she refuses his embrace because of his uniform.

“Julie, I... I reckon you hate me now, don't you? Honey, I couldn't hate you. Because I love you.” 11:28 · “It's best we say goodbye. Here.” 11:38 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.
