Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conversational; themes: recounting past events, social interaction under tension, formal domestic setting; style notes: medium close-ups, formal framing, studio lighting with soft shadows, black-and-white film stock

Two men and a woman are seated at a table in a formal interior setting; one man speaks about a past event involving a patch-up on Friday. The scene includes dialogue referencing a departure from 'Ban go' on Wednesday.

“since...” 27:31 · “Friday a week ago.” 27:32 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.
