Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and weary; themes: war, nostalgia, displacement; style notes: medium shots, smoky background, muted color palette, naturalistic lighting

A man in a dark uniform and cap stands in a smoky, war-torn landscape while speaking about being an American and wishing he were back in Detroit. Other soldiers are visible in the background, some seated and some standing, amidst smoke and debris.

“Do you know an American driver by the name of Cynthia Green?” 72:24 · “Wish I was back in Detroit. You're American, huh? Yeah. Wish I was back in Detroit where I was when I got sucked into this.” 72:42 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.
