Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and somber; themes: coercion, fear, domestic comfort after trauma; style notes: static medium shots, high contrast black-and-white, minimal set design

A man in uniform confronts a seated person at a desk in a room with maps; later, a woman comforts a child in a dimly lit room. The transcript includes a refusal to sign a document and warnings not to speak about the event.

“You sign now?” 75:56 · “I won't sign it.” 76:05 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.
