Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and weary; themes: betrayal, fatigue, political conflict; style notes: medium close-up and medium shot, studio lighting with soft shadows, classical costume design

A woman with blonde hair is shown in a close-up, followed by two men in ancient-style robes standing in a room with columns and outdoor light. The transcript mentions Persians, a traitor named Hippias, and someone expressing tiredness.

“And the Persians threatened to land on our shores, guided by the traitor Hippias.” 26:52 · “Not everyone thinks hippies is a traitor.” 26:56 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.
