  • older man, receding hairline, wearing light-colored shirt visible

Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense or conspiratorial; themes: manipulation, performance, dialogue-driven moment; style notes: tight close-up, high contrast lighting, focused on facial expressions

Two men are shown in a close-up, one older with receding hair and one younger with a mustache, both wearing light-colored shirts. One man speaks a line that appears to be about giving someone a 'deep-nyeh'.

“This'll give her that deep-nyeh.” 47:00 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.
