Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: solemn and resolute; themes: civic duty, sacrifice, numerical disadvantage, freedom; style notes: static medium shot, low-key lighting with dark background, figures arranged in a row, emphasizing collective resolve

A group of men in ancient Greek-style robes are seated outdoors at night, discussing Athens' military weakness against Darius and resolving to fight for freedom. The dialogue emphasizes numerical disadvantage and a collective decision to arm all citizens.

“Don't you see that Athens alone isn't strong enough to defeat Darius and his army?” 34:27 · “At most, we might arm 10,000 infantrymen and 5,000 cavalry.” 34:34 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.
