Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conversational; themes: intergenerational conflict, romantic entanglements, cultural references to Africa; style notes: static medium shots and close-ups, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, typical of 1930s studio films

A man and a woman sit at a table in a kitchen, conversing while another man with binoculars is present. The dialogue suggests tension over a third person not visible in the frames.

“I don't know what you're going to do with this sophomore's fiance of yours.” 3:41 · “You'll have to teach him to enjoy life.” 3:44 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.
