Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: confrontation, social class, romantic tension; style notes: close-ups and medium shots in black and white, dim lighting with high contrast, static camera

A man and a woman are shown in close-up, then a third man confronts them in a dimly lit interior. The dialogue includes a threat to shoot if the man returns to the house, and an apology to 'Miss Betty' and 'Remy'.

“I'll not go. Colonel Holbrook.” 51:52 · “Not only to yourself... I'll not trade words with you, sir.” 51:57 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.
