“About a dog. Jonas lost a dog. I found one. This one. He followed me home and...” 35:42 · “Now, look, it's simple. Jonas put an ad in the paper. I thought this was him. So I called him to tell him I'd have him back just as soon as I could take him for a walk. Who? Jonas? A natural. No! The dog. This one. Jonas' dog. Only he's not Jonas' dog.” 36:00

Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and comedic; themes: misunderstanding, family tension, absurdity of crime accusations; style notes: medium shots, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, static camera, mid-century costume design

A man in a suit explains a mix-up involving a dog that he thought belonged to Jonas, while two women and another man listen; the scene includes dialogue about murder and a mother-in-law. The setting appears to be an interior room with brick walls and a dog present.

“Murdered! Murder?” 35:01 · “You're mixed up in a murder. I knew someday you... Mother, shh! What does she know, Denny? How do I know what she knows?” 35:03 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.
