Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense or somber; themes: injury, social gathering, drama; style notes: medium shot, studio lighting, static framing, 1930s film noir aesthetic with high contrast

A man with his left arm in a white sling sits at a table in a restaurant while a woman and another man sit across from him; a fourth man stands in the background. The scene is lit with studio lighting and includes other patrons and a coat rack.

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.
