Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: neutral; style notes: static text overlays with high contrast against a dark, indistinct background; typical of 1940s film credit sequences.

This beat displays the film's opening credits, listing actors Paul Kelly, DeForest Kelley, Ann Doran, Kay Scott, Charles Victor, Robert Emmett Keane, and Jeff Yorke, and credits William Irish as the author of the story 'Nightmare'. No characters or settings are depicted beyond the text.

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.
