- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and investigative; themes: mystery, suspicion, classical detective narrative; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, formal framing typical of 1930s studio productions
A man in a suit sits in an armchair and speaks while another man stands nearby; later, two men are seen in a living room with one seated on a sofa and the other standing. The transcript describes a woman matching Mrs. Tornan’s appearance and suggests she may have killed Henry Carson with a dagger.
“Woman?” 38:18 · “The description fits Mrs. Tornan.” 38:35 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.
