Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and abrupt, shifting from resignation to sudden address; themes: social reluctance, sudden interruption, urban night setting; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, high contrast lighting, static camera, period costume and car design

A man in a suit and hat speaks near a car outside a building with police officers present; one officer stands by the door while another approaches the car. The transcript includes lines about rejecting blind dates and a sudden shift to calling someone, followed by silence and a call to 'Hey, you.'

“I don't care if she has got a girlfriend. I'm going home and hit the hay.” 66:47 · “I just don't go for any blind dates. I'd rather be caught dead.” 66:51 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.
