Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and intimate; themes: reluctance, personal space, persuasion; style notes: tight framing on two characters in a car, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, static camera

A man and a woman are seated in a car; the man urges the woman to remove a pack, which she resists. The woman then reaches toward the man while he leans back.

“You'd be much more comfortable without it.” 47:50 · “Oh, come on, beautiful. Take that pack off.” 47:56 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.
