Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: casual and conversational; themes: military camaraderie, learning under pressure; style notes: tight group framing, high-contrast lighting, black-and-white film stock

A group of sailors in uniform are seated around a table in a dimly lit interior, engaged in conversation. One man speaks while others listen or react, with dialogue indicating they are learning something quickly.

“Oh, you guys wouldn't know it.” 23:30 · “Choke with a hard one.” 23:32 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.
