Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: confrontation, identity, surrender; style notes: medium shot, natural daylight, ship deck setting with rigging visible, characters in close proximity

Two men in sailor caps face each other on a ship deck; one is shirtless, the other wears a brown shirt. A woman in a patterned dress stands behind them, and another sailor is visible in the background. Dialogue in Spanish and English suggests a tense exchange about surrender and identity.

“¿Joplin en la Maluca? Yo swear en mi honor No sé que no era ni su amigo, Samson” 46:58 · “Yo sentí a mandio de surrender, Bill Ha, ha, ha, ha” 46:58 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.
