Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: formal and slightly awkward; themes: social introduction, household dynamics, misunderstanding; style notes: medium shots, warm indoor lighting, period costumes and set design

A man and two women are introduced in a room with period furnishings; one woman corrects her name and another is identified as the cook. The man responds to a comment about the household being bachelor-like by saying it both is and isn't.

“Here's your cigars, Mr. McClintock. I am Mrs. McClintock. Kate, I mean Catherine.” 31:23 · “This is the cook, this is the lady who does the cooking for us. Mrs. Warren, Mrs. McClinter.” 31:29 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.
