Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: noir-style transition from street to dressing room, with narrative exposition; themes: urban nightlife, disguise and preparation, narrated plot progression; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, studio lighting in interior, high contrast on street

A man in a dark suit and hat stands on a street holding an umbrella, while a woman in a light dress and dark hat is seen from behind. The scene then cuts to an interior where a man sits in a chair watching two women, one in a white gown and another in a dark coat, with a third woman standing in the background.

“Our next move is to contact Mr. James Collins. His secretary said he had a date that night at a spot called the Pule Dor. From here in, we had no worries.” 62:12 · “Montague and his cute little playmates, they were washed up, through, lost in the shuffle. Well, Poulet d'Or was our next stop, but we didn't look exactly like cafe society, so I blew the bankroll. A rented tuxedo for myself and an evening gown for Carlotta. Boy, did she stack up.” 62:21 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.
