Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and transactional; themes: duty versus personal history, colonial authority, hidden agendas; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, minimal set dressing suggesting a functional interior

Two men converse in a rustic interior; one is a cook who avoids shore leave to evade his wife, while the other, a commissioner, assigns him a mission to find a missing man linked to an ivory smuggling ring. A crow perches on a table with a lantern and small objects.

“The very next day I ship out on the Pearl of Cape Town.” 14:36 · “So my wife don't catch me. By and by I hear she's run away with some no account from the inland country. Far, far away. So I'm a free man.” 14:48 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.
