Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense, confused, darkly comedic; themes: identity confusion, police procedural, noir elements, mistaken identity; style notes: black-and-white, high-contrast lighting, close-up on bed, mugshot as evidence, static camera

A man is woken at night by a phone call from the police about a body; he insists it is Jonas, but the police say Jonas is already in the morgue and the body found is Norbert Gillespie, alias Gilly the Blade. The scene includes a police mugshot of Gillespie and dialogue confirming the confusion over identities.

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.
