Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: clinical and conversational; themes: medical examination, military or uniformed service, interpersonal concern; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, period costumes

A man in a uniform speaks with two other men in a room; a nurse is visible in a separate shot. A doctor is mentioned and a medical examination is described in the transcript.

“Well, if you ever get down to Pine Ridge, why come see me, Doc. Thank you. Twenty-three and a half hours leave?” 21:48 · “Everything, what'd he say? Are you hurt anywhere, Vatner? I don't think so, Lom.” 21:58 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.
