Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and instructional; themes: reluctance to violence, necessity of defense, mentorship in combat; style notes: static medium shots, natural daylight, classical architecture framing action, costumes suggest ancient Greece

Two men practice sword fighting in an outdoor training area with statues and columns; one instructs the other to move faster and watch his shoulders. The dialogue reveals the trainee's reluctance toward weapons and the instructor's insistence on their necessity.

“you say you hate weapons get even a man like you might need them one day” 18:18 · “But they do exist, Philippides.” 18:41 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.
