Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and romantic; themes: romantic tension, mystery, danger; style notes: high-contrast noir lighting, medium close-ups, static framing emphasizing dialogue

A woman in a shiny dress sits at a desk speaking to a man whose back is to the camera; another man in a suit appears in a doorway. The transcript includes romantic and urgent dialogue, including a reference to 'my uncle.'

“It isn't any crime to want to be beside you.” 16:51 · “Till there's no more time.” 17:02 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.
