- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and questioning; themes: mystery, suspicion, sudden revelation; style notes: static medium shot, formal attire, studio lighting, classic 1930s film framing
Four men in formal attire stand in a decorated room; one speaks about a recent homicide call and the victim being alive twenty minutes ago. No names are spoken that identify any person in the frame.
“Oh, Wong.” 21:46 · “I didn't expect to find you here. I expected you but not so soon. Somebody phoned us about 20 minutes ago. Said it was a homicide. Who phoned did they say?” 21:48 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.
