Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and mysterious; themes: suspicion, encounter, nautical reference; style notes: low-key lighting, tight framing on faces, dark interior setting

A woman and a man are shown in close proximity in a dimly lit interior; the transcript contains Spanish dialogue referencing a ship named 'Wildfire' and 'Joblin Schooner, la Maluca'. No names are established for the visible people.

“¿Es es el Wildfire, Capitan? ¡No puedo hacerle la rig! ¡Es muy extraño!” 45:03 · “Llega en la chana en la canta como eso. ¡Es como alguien tenía la idea de que nos quedara fuera de la gente!” 45:03 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.
