- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: suspenseful; themes: mystery, deception, hidden objects; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, formal interior staging
A woman in a striped dress stands on a staircase while two men stand in a room with a closed door; dialogue suggests a dress was found in a trunk and may have been planted there. The setting appears to be an interior room with a staircase and formal furnishings.
“- Did you give this dress to the cook? - Why, yes.” 51:49 · “I found it at the bottom of foot's trunk.” 51:52 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.
