- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: contemplative and conversational; themes: literary legacy, consultation and mystery, character reflection; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, period furnishings suggest a 19th-century setting
A man in a suit reads a magazine while seated at a desk; another man in a robe plays a violin in a chair nearby. The transcript mentions a consultation, a letter, and a story titled 'A Scandal in Bohemia' involving Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler.
“Remember that letter, Holmes? It was written over two years ago. Interesting case. Devilously interesting.” 8:46 · “Irene Adler.” 8:54 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.
