Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: intimate and conversational; themes: gratitude, romantic tension, self-deprecation; style notes: black-and-white, medium close-ups, high-contrast lighting typical of 1940s film noir, framing emphasizes separation between characters

A man in a robe stands behind curtains while a woman peeks over a large object, speaking to him. The dialogue indicates she is expressing gratitude and calling him brave, while he responds with a line about watching the birdie.

“I just wanted you to know, I'm not really angry with you. Why not? I'm very grateful for all you've done for me. Even if you were Sam McLeod, you couldn't have accomplished more. Look, don't red apple me.” 60:00 · “From now on, I'm going to stick to watch the birdie.” 60:14 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.
