Model opinion, not evidence: mood: neutral; themes: office interaction, telephone message; style notes: medium shot, studio lighting, static framing

A woman in a dark dress stands beside a seated woman in a light blouse in an interior setting; a third person is partially visible. A transcript line indicates Mr. Murray phoned while someone was out.

“Mr. Murray phoned you while you were out.” 45:05 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.
