Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: confrontation, family tension; style notes: black-and-white, medium shot, high-contrast lighting, staged interior

A man and a young girl are visible in a dimly lit interior space with stairs and furniture; a transcript line mentions a gun and a demand to give it up. No names are spoken that can be assigned to the visible people.

“He did ask my father for money. Well, he'll never get it. He's” 31:29 · “I'll blow his revelations. Hey, now, wait a minute. Wait, give me the gun. Give it to me. Oh, what?” 31:33 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.
