Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: energetic and tense; themes: seafaring, crew dynamics, command; style notes: high-contrast lighting, wide shots on deck, close-up at helm, abrupt cut to dark interior

Men work on a ship's deck under daylight, then a scene cuts to a dark interior where men sit together. One man at the helm shouts while others are visible on deck or in the dark space.

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.
