Model opinion, not evidence: mood: polite and slightly formal; themes: social propriety, companionship, gender roles; style notes: medium shot, black-and-white, studio lighting on outdoor set, actors facing each other in conversation

A man and a woman stand facing each other in an outdoor wooden setting; the man offers to keep the woman company if her father is late. The woman says she is not afraid and would not like Lincoln to leave, and the man responds that it would not be an inconvenience and would be a pleasure.

“In case your dad is late getting back, I'd be very happy to keep you company this evening until his return.” 35:39 · “But I'm not afraid.” 35:46 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.
