- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and somber; themes: murder, suspicion, confrontation; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, formal framing around staircase
An older man in a robe stands on a staircase and speaks with two younger men in suits; the dialogue reveals that a character named Foot has been murdered in the house. The scene is set indoors, with no visible windows or clocks to establish time.
“What happened? Foot! Foot! For Mr. Landis. What's the matter? Foot isn't here, sir. What? The fact is, Mr. Carson, Foot has been injured.” 40:44 · “-Foot was killed last night. -Murdered?” 41:07 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.
