Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and urgent; themes: war, espionage, capture, ancient Greece; style notes: medium shots and close-ups with dramatic lighting; classical architecture and costumes suggest historical epic

A man in ancient attire is seen from behind in a room with columns and drapes; a woman in a dark dress and necklace appears in close-up and in conversation with him. Dialogue reveals a plot involving a character named Philippides, a mission to Sparta, and a threat to take a woman to Darius's camp.

“Everyone has lost his head over this Philippides.” 43:25 · “By sending him to Sparta.” 43:31 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.
