Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: serious and conversational; themes: professional consultation, family secrets, social decorum; style notes: medium two-shots, formal attire, studio lighting, static camera

Two men in suits are in a room with ornate decor; one is seated, the other standing. A transcript line mentions 'Baron Monte's wife,' indicating a discussion about a third person's behavior.

“Oh, yes, we had a long talk outside.” 21:06 · “As you perhaps know, it is not the habit of a psychiatrist to put on display these skeletons in anyone's family closet.” 21:13 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.
