Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conversational; themes: social interaction, mystery, romantic tension; style notes: medium shots, studio lighting, formal attire, classic black-and-white framing

A man in a tuxedo speaks to two others in a room with a tufted sofa; later, a man in a light suit and a woman in a shimmering dress stand close. A line references a phone call from 'Napoleon.'

“I was just saying to your friend, Mr. Craig, at any time he's in the neighborhood, he should feel free to drop in and have a julep with us.” 23:54 · “Here we are, alone at last.” 24:10 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.
