- “My, my. Caesar! Who? You know that Roman general? He got his for being greedy. He wasn't satisfied, so the final windup was he took the count. A couple of days ago you didn't have a dime. Why, you were so broke you couldn't pay cash for a post-it stamp. Now you've got almost $700 with $18.50 in the offing. Take my advice. Don't try for more. I'm tired of this game. Let's have some blackjack. Play solitaire. Okay, I will if that's the way you feel about it. That's the way I feel about it. Getting so enthroned things won't help much, Roberts.” 58:21

- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and cautionary; themes: greed, consequences of risk, moral advice; style notes: close-up shots, high-contrast lighting, dramatic shadows, intimate framing
A woman and a man are in a dimly lit interior, speaking about money and risk. The man advises against greed, referencing Caesar, while the woman appears to be listening or responding.
“But I'm on my way out. Oh.” 58:01 · “I'll be doing, we'll be rushing it. All right. But think of the 1850 you'd lose. You'd kick yourself along the block, but it'd get away from you. I'll take the chance. Want another drink? You're being a goon. That's the way people wind up behind the eight ball. Once they get a few dollars, they become greedy and want more.” 58:05 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.
