Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: formal and instructional; themes: military routine, authority, discipline; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, studio set with minimal props

Two men in military-style uniforms interact in a room with a desk and telephone; one sits at the desk holding papers while the other stands nearby. A group of similarly dressed individuals is visible in the background of one shot.

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.
