- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: polite and slightly awkward; themes: misidentification, social formality, absence of key figure; style notes: medium close-up, static framing, high-contrast lighting typical of 1940s film noir
A woman in a dark coat and hat stands at a doorway, speaking with someone inside. She identifies herself as Dr. Watson and mentions that Mr. Holmes is out.
“Good afternoon. - Mr. Sherlock Holmes? No, I'm Dr. Watson. - Of course, Dr. Watson.” 60:11 · “- How stupid of me. - Oh, stupid of me.” 60:18 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.
