Seen
text overlay, ship
On screen
The producers wish to thank the Navy Department for their cooperation in making possible the filming of this picture — and to express especial appreciation to Commander Louis H. Gwinn, U.S.N.R., whose technical aid and advice were of the utmost assistance.
Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: formal and appreciative; themes: gratitude to military collaborators, acknowledgment of technical assistance; style notes: static text overlay on a still image of a ship, followed by a sudden cut to blackness; high-contrast black-and-white

The beat displays on-screen text thanking the Navy Department and Commander Louis H. Gwinn for assistance with filming. The final frame shows a dark, indistinct outdoor scene with no visible action.

“I'm.” 1:00 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.
