Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: epic, dramatic; themes: heroism, ancient setting, film production credits; style notes: wide shot, bright outdoor lighting, classical framing with central figure and crowd, bold yellow text overlay

Two frames from the opening credits of a 1959 film show a muscular man in a white loincloth holding a helmet, with a crowd behind him, and production credits overlaid. The text identifies the film as an Italo-French co-production titled 'Titanus-Galatea' and names Philippe Hersent.

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.
