Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confessional; themes: fugitive past, marital betrayal, confrontation; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, studio set with minimal props

A man in a cowboy hat and vest speaks about fleeing after killing a man named Smith, while another man in a dark shirt listens. The scene takes place indoors, with both men seated and the conversation focused on a past crime and fugitive status.

“I came out here to regain my health.” 30:50 · “When I went back, I found my wife in the arms of another man.” 30:54 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.
