Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: betrayal, trust, political ambition, moral conflict; style notes: static medium shot, high-contrast lighting, chiaroscuro effect, period costume

Two men stand in a dimly lit interior room; one speaks to the other, accusing him of betrayal and urging trust. The dialogue references a woman, a governorship, and a past betrayal by someone named Smiley.

“You know, this should convince you conclusively, Eddie, that I'm the only friend you have.” 77:49 · “First your best pal Smiley double-crosses you and now this girl. It ain't so. The cop pulled a boner. The girl ain't had nothing to do with it.” 77:53 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.
