Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and accusatory; themes: betrayal, confrontation, justice; style notes: black-and-white, medium close-ups, static framing, high-contrast lighting typical of 1930s Westerns

Two people argue in a store, with one accusing the other of betrayal and murder; the transcript reveals a backstory of a friend who was imprisoned for a crime committed by the accused. The setting is an interior shop with shelves of goods visible.

“Where is he?” 42:27 · “He's safe or you'll never see him again.” 42:34 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.
