Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: interrogation, denial, suspicion; style notes: medium close-ups, high-contrast lighting, static camera framing

Two men are in a tense conversation inside a wooden-walled room; one accuses the other of lying about being wet after returning to a stable. A third man stands in the background observing.

“Might as well come clean, Ross. We've got enough to indict you.” 42:24 · “Now then, how do you explain that when you get back to the stable yesterday, both you and your horse were dripping wet?” 42:34 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.
