“You know what my plans are. 50-50 split. Only we've got to go slow.” 23:10 · “After waiting 18 years, I'm taking no chances. Neither am I. I've waited 18 years, too. Yes, but the best years of my life, that's what I paid for my share. 18 years in the tooth mill. 18 years burning my eyes out, reading. Trying to make myself the kind of a father my daughter could be proud of.” 23:17

Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: betrayal, long-term resentment, negotiation under threat; style notes: close two-shots and tight close-ups under studio lighting, emphasizing facial expressions and dialogue

Two men in suits are in a tense conversation in an interior space; one demands to know where money is hidden, while the other insists on a 50-50 split after an 18-year wait. No names are spoken that can be assigned to the visible individuals, and no time of day or period is established.

“And that's why I'm here, Foster, standing right over the plate, waiting for you to pitch.” 22:51 · “Well, it'll be safe until Judgment Day. Which happens to be right here and now. So come on and talk to me, Forster. What are your plans? Don't ask me that again.” 23:00 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.
