Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and intimate; themes: romantic tension, mystery, parental concern; style notes: close-ups and medium shots, high-contrast lighting, static camera

A man and a woman have an intimate conversation in a room with bookshelves, followed by a discussion involving another man about a boy named Mike and a murder on a train. The scene ends with a mention that Mike is with McPhee and will return for dinner.

“I love you.” 39:25 · “I know why. It happened. Everything was fine. Just a few days ago, I found out she was supporting some other guy. You just ditched her, huh? Yeah, I ditched her. That dame on the train that McPhee mentioned, she got it good. Paid for a lot of others.” 39:28 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.
