Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: suspicious and conversational; themes: law enforcement, mystery, small-town setting; style notes: medium shot, black-and-white, natural daylight, two men walking in frame, shallow depth of field with background figure

Two men walk side by side on a wooden sidewalk; one wears a sheriff's star. A third man walks away in the background. The transcript mentions a person named Sally and suggests someone may be withholding information.

“I've known Sally since she was so high. It's kind of hard to believe, but she knows more than she's telling us.” 37:57 · “Maybe we ought to trailer.” 38:04 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.
