Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: conflict, power struggle; style notes: static wide shot, high contrast lighting, deep shadows, classical Hollywood composition

Two men are engaged in a physical struggle inside a large, dimly lit room with scattered furniture. The setting appears to be a grand interior space, possibly a mansion or estate, with no visible windows or clocks to indicate time.

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.
