Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: gambling, confrontation, risk; style notes: low-key lighting, tight framing on two characters, high contrast shadows

Two men are seated at a table playing cards in a dimly lit room; one speaks to the other, urging him to quit gambling before losing more money. The speaker is not named in the dialogue, and no other identifying information is visible or spoken.

“You're almost even, Salah. Why don't you quit before you go broke?” 47:25 · “You won't get me anywhere, mister. You'll call.” 47:25 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.
