Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: conflict, deception, authority; style notes: black-and-white, medium close-ups inside a vehicle, high-contrast lighting typical of 1940s cinema

A man and a woman are in the back of a moving vehicle, arguing while a driver and another passenger look on. The woman mentions Dr. Higgins and St. Louis, and the man calls someone 'Fred' while describing someone as two-faced.

“Are you talking to the cab driver, dear? Keep your eye frontal. You want us to get killed?” 53:03 · “I was talking to Dr. Higgins.” 53:11 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.
