Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: conversational, slightly nostalgic; themes: naval service, post-war transition, personal history; style notes: black-and-white, medium close-up shots from outside the vehicle, focused on facial expressions and dialogue

Two men are in a vehicle, one driving and one in the passenger seat, discussing past work and future plans. One man mentions being a deep sea diver and the other suggests he could be a Gunner's mate in the Navy.

“He's commander of the section base of San Pedro now. A mighty tough Joe to shave, but you'd never want to meet a greater little guy.” 5:26 · “No, not exactly. Until a couple of months ago, I was knocking around the South Pacific.” 5:40 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.
