  • A dark frame is displayed with no visible content. [frame:1]
Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: confrontation, demand for justice; style notes: extreme low-key lighting or black screen used for dramatic effect

A dark frame with no visible content is shown during a dialogue exchange where one person tells another to shut up and a group demands a fair deal. No people, objects, or place are visible in the frame.

“Yeah, well... I want you to take some of the kids to see. Oh, shut up!” 17:45 · “All we ask is a square deal. We won't stand being robbed any longer. You're not giving orders. You're taking them.” 17:49 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.
