Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tender and conversational; themes: family, gender expectations, parental affection; style notes: medium close-ups, soft lighting, domestic framing

A man and a woman are in a room with a baby; the woman holds the baby while the man speaks. The dialogue suggests they are discussing the baby's gender and their happiness as a family.

“And baby makes three We're happy in mind Oh, sure, she's good looking.” 78:18 · “- You still sorry she wasn't a boy? - Huh?” 78:33 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.
