Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: moral conflict, identity possession, consequences of past actions; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, formal composition typical of 1940s studio drama

Two men are shown in conversation in an interior setting; one is dressed in dark formal attire, the other in a suit. Dialogue indicates a supernatural or metaphysical conflict involving a judge’s body, Barbara’s unhappiness, and a past act of evil.

“So long as you remain in the judge's body, neither you nor he can do anything.” 94:24 · “What's more, you're making Barbara very unhappy.” 94:28 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.
