Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conversational; themes: travel, mystery, gender roles; style notes: tight two-shot in black and white, high-contrast lighting, confined framing within vehicle interior

A man and a woman are seated in a vehicle interior; the man speaks while driving. The transcript mentions Phoenix and a girl falling asleep in the car.

“Where you coming from? Oh, back there. Needles? No.” 34:24 · “Oh, sure. Phoenix. You look just like a Phoenix girl. And the girls in Phoenix left that? The girl must have been pretty tired because she fell asleep not 20 minutes after she stepped into the car. She lay sprawled out with her head resting against the bar door, like Haskell. I didn't like that part of it much, but I didn't wake her up.” 34:29 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.
