Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conversational; themes: conflict, family, military reference; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, studio lighting, static camera

Two men in suits are in a room; one speaks while the other moves toward a doorway. The transcript includes dialogue about a bedroom, a brother named Jacks, and a trip to Spence's to pick up Mom.

“Come on, let me down, will you?” 7:55 · “Team 2 and throw out your anchors. Now, wait a minute. I'm not going to take your bedroom away from you. Who says it's my room?” 8:01 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.
