Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent and tense; themes: duty, rescue, consequence; style notes: close two-shot, high-contrast lighting, black-and-white film stock, focused on character interaction

A man instructs a woman named Ines to find Piero on La Rue de la Beauvoir and bring him back, implying Piero's return may help Regis recover. The woman agrees.

“What are you doing? Ines, go down to La Rue de la Beauvoir and see if you can find out anything about Piero. Try to find him and bring him back, quick. He went down with Regis. If you bring him back, Regis may recover.” 47:20 · “All right.” 47:38 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.
