Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: dryly humorous, slightly theatrical; themes: social formality, mystery, class distinction; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white lighting, wide framing emphasizing architectural scale, static camera with medium shots

Two men interact in a large, ornate room with columns and candlesticks; one man in a robe speaks to another in a suit while a third figure in a hooded robe stands nearby. A line mentions 'Madame la Baronesse is in her living room,' and one man offers to help another with his coat.

“Nice cheerful place. What time did they bring the mummies out? Very amusing, sir.” 15:39 · “Madame la Baronesse is in her living room.” 15:44 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.
