- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: comedic and tense, with elements of farce and deception; themes: deception, adventure, comedy of errors; style notes: black-and-white, studio-lit interior scenes with medium shots, contrasted with a single outdoor tent scene; use of close-ups on props like the map
A man named Stanley Livingston, working in a bookstore, is approached by two men seeking a map from a rare book; he later pretends to be a big game hunter for a woman named Diane Emerson. A separate scene shows a man in a tent, suggesting a shift to an outdoor or expedition setting.

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.
