Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and transactional; themes: negotiation, deception, automobile as commodity; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, high-contrast lighting, period costumes

Two people negotiate a car sale, discussing papers, price, and insurance; one is identified as Mr. Haskell. The scenes shift from a car's interior to an outdoor setting and then to an office interior.

“from his price. OK it's a deal. All right come on we'll find the papers I have the ownership papers on here with me. Look there in the meantime we've been a dash compartment maybe some stuff in it. All right darling. Eighteen hundred and fifty bucks that dirty.” 52:25 · “New York, huh?” 52:54 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.
