Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conspiratorial; themes: authority, crime, communication under pressure; style notes: close-up shots, high-contrast lighting, static camera focusing on dialogue delivery

A man in a hat and coat speaks urgently on a telephone, ordering park entrances closed. Another man in a vest is also on the phone, discussing a death and stolen money with someone named Stewart.

“Hello Jim, Riddell, get this straight, I want every entrance to this park closed immediately, no one is to leave or enter without a personal okay from me, get it?” 34:33 · “Hello? New York? Mr. Stewart? Harding and talking. Say, listen, Mr. Stewart. That Philip Foster, or Anderson, whichever you want to call him, was found dead about a half an hour ago.” 34:45 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.
