Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and emotionally charged; themes: personal transformation, concern for health and well-being, conflict between habit and new behavior; style notes: medium shots, static camera, high-contrast lighting typical of 1940s film noir

A man in a suit demands drinks and cigars while a woman pleads with him; another man serves the drinks. The woman expresses concern that he has changed and fears he will become ill.

“Albert, get me some antiseptic advantages, quickly. Yes, Miss Farmer. Darling, you were magnificent.” 48:07 · “But you know you weren't cut out for that sort of thing. You know somebody who could have done it better?” 48:19 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.
