“Your empty chamber speaks for itself.” 48:25 · “Now, Foster was killed with a bullet from a service gun, wasn't he? Well, there's your service gun. There's your killer. Don't rely a heart again. I tell you all I did was take his gun away from him. I'd like to believe that, Sherwood.” 48:29

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

Three men examine a revolver while a woman stands nearby; dialogue accuses one man of firing the gun that killed Foster. The accused denies it, claiming he only took the gun away.

“And I suppose it's of no importance there's been one bullet fired from this gun. Chief, you don't believe it. Sure would.” 48:15 · “Maybe you can explain this empty chamber. Yes, of course I can. David Sherwood, save it.” 48:21 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.
