Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conspiratorial; themes: negotiation, identity, moral ambiguity; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white lighting, tight close-ups, static camera framing

Two men are in a room with bookshelves; one stands while the other lies down, and they speak about finding bodies. The standing man agrees to let the other go first, calling him important.

“What about you?” 22:47 · “Ain't you gonna find yourself a body?” 22:49 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.
