- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conversational; themes: legal consequences, personal accountability, humor in tense situations; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, period costumes, staged framing typical of 1940s studio films
Two men in suits stand behind a counter in a store, discussing a legal matter involving a widow and breach of promise. A third man, wearing glasses and a suit, is shown separately behind the counter, reacting to the conversation.
“That's what I've got to say to you isn't going to make you feel any better.” 54:36 · “I'm afraid the widow's got a mighty strong breach of promise case against you.” 54:41 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.
