Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and interrogative; themes: authority, explanation under pressure, identity verification; style notes: medium close-ups, static camera, high-contrast lighting typical of 1930s film noir

Three people are seated at a table in a wooden interior; one man in a hat speaks while another man in a suit listens, and a woman stands behind them. The transcript indicates a tense conversation about an incident involving 'Dick' and questions about being a detective.

“Well, Dick got kind of sore.” 46:10 · “Listen, Chief, I can explain this.” 46:10 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.
