“I'm mad at the time to learn the conge, I swear. I gave her the message and I gave her the air. It seemed to be loud and gloom. Suddenly, boom, another girl took over from there. I know if you meet him, you are likely to fall. His methods are sensed because it catches them all. He'll sing you a serenade, tenderly played upon an old male artist. His heart.” 61:57

Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: romantic and theatrical; themes: romance, nightlife, performance; style notes: medium group shot, studio lighting, black-and-white film, formal attire

A man in a suit and hat stands between two women in a dimly lit interior; one woman wears a wide-brimmed hat. The transcript references Broadway and Latin cafes, suggesting a nightlife or romantic context.

“South on Broadway. It's daytime. He spends parading on the avenue.” 61:27 · “Then later, you'll always find me with a girl or two and a third in you. He'll take you to all the gay places. He'll make every Latin cafe. He'll give you such a thrill. And then he'll hand you to build this charming caballero from Broadway. South on Broadway.” 61:35 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.
