Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: suspenseful and conversational; themes: mystery, investigation, survival; style notes: medium two-shot, static framing, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, period costume detail

Two men in a room discuss a person named Brad, believing he may be alive and seen at a store during a hold-up; they decide to take handbills to talk to someone named Sally. The setting appears to be an interior space with a door and wall decor visible.

“You know, I believe that fellow Brad is still alive.” 35:22 · “Look to me like it is him at the door the night of the store hold-up.” 35:25 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.
