Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: confrontation, loss, material wealth; style notes: static medium shot, high contrast lighting, black and white film

A man in a dark suit stands in a dimly lit interior space with a lattice window and stone steps. He is audible speaking angrily, ordering people to leave and referencing jewelry and someone not returning.

“Burn them!” 63:07 · “And you too. Get out. I've heard enough. And you. I'm sick of looking at you. You seem to be sick of everything. Right. I'd bring her up to see you again if it were possible, but there's no chance. So, she's not coming back. That's fine. What? All that swell jewelry. You had it right in the palm of your hand. That's enough.” 63:08 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.
