Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conspiratorial; themes: deception, identity verification, personal safety; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white lighting, tight close-ups, dramatic shadows

A woman and a man are shown in separate close-ups during a tense conversation. The woman claims she out-faced two men, and the man is told he is safe because someone from her college class can identify her.

“was a Nazi Franz Kindler he made it all up just to trick me but I didn't tell him anything and I didn't tell father anything I out-faced both of them” 64:56 · “Charles he'll be civil enough to prove you're not good but Nancy we'll just find someone who was in your class at college and he'll identify you” 64:56 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.
