Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conversational; themes: romantic entanglement, social propriety; style notes: medium close-ups, static framing, studio lighting

A woman in a yellow dress speaks to a man lying down, then turns as another woman in a blue dress appears on a staircase. The dialogue reveals a marriage proposal and a comment about seating.

“I waited up to talk to Mr. McClintick. I wanted to tell him I was quitting.” 103:57 · “Sheriff Lord has asked me to marry him and... Oh, congratulations.” 104:05 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.
