Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: legal drama, cross-examination, personal testimony; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, formal courtroom framing

In a courtroom, a man in a suit questions a woman in a white dress and hat while a judge sits in the background. The transcript indicates a cross-examination is underway, with the witness confirming she was a close friend of the defendant and confided in her.

“Your witness, Mr. Mitchell.” 65:52 · “I've got to cross it.” 65:54 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.
