Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and reflective; themes: personal failure, social status, nostalgia for past pursuits; style notes: low-angle shots, dramatic lighting, use of shadows and foreground objects to frame characters

Two men converse in a room with decorative wall art; one stands near a staircase while the other remains in the foreground. The dialogue suggests a discussion about personal success, health, and hunting, with one man urging the other to visit again.

“What do you think? But you think my book stinks? Everything I'm doing stinks. I came to praise his honor to bury him.” 65:43 · “Make a handsome living, have the acquaintance of most of the interesting people of the world. All this and this too.” 65:53 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.
