Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: power dynamics, denial of guilt, threats and coercion; style notes: black-and-white, medium close-ups inside a car, high-contrast lighting emphasizing facial expressions

A man and a woman are in a car; the man warns the woman not to argue or she will end up in jail, while she insists she is not a murderer. The man claims Haskell killed himself and that he took Haskell's belongings for a reason he explained.

“Don't get sore. I'm not getting sore. But just remember who's boss around here.” 38:27 · “If you shut up and don't give me any arguments, you'll have nothing to worry about.” 38:27 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.
