- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: confrontation, social class, legal threat; style notes: static medium shots, formal framing, high-contrast lighting typical of 1930s studio production
In a formal interior, a man in a suit confronts a seated woman and another man; a second scene shows two men in suits entering a room. A transcript line mentions Mrs. Tallman and a warning not to leave town.
“But on the other hand, Mrs. Tallman, I must ask you not to attempt to leave town.” 28:26 · “I have no intentions of leaving town.” 28:30 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.
