- “Tompkins has been murdered. I just left her apartment. You're still murdered? Who killed her? If we knew that, we'd know who killed Norman. She was strangled the same way. Like a nightmare, isn't it?” 53:39 · “Is that your car over there? Yes. Let's see your driver's license.” 55:37

- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and ominous; themes: murder mystery, suspicion, nocturnal danger, unreliable narration; style notes: noir-style night exterior, high-contrast lighting, dialogue-driven suspense
A woman reports a murder and is driven home; later, a man is stopped by police while walking near a car. The dialogue reveals a second strangulation murder, mirroring an earlier one, and suspicion falls on multiple characters.
“But it can't be. She was alive just a few minutes ago.” 52:15 · “Phone headquarters. Get the boys over here right away. We've had another murder.” 53:01 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.
