- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: alibi, reciprocity, past crime; style notes: static medium shot, high-contrast lighting, noir-style shadows, tight framing on three characters
Three men are shown in a dimly lit interior, one speaking to another named Gavner, referencing a past alibi involving a safe. The scene is static, with no visible movement or change in setting.
“Yes, I cleared you of a most unpleasant charge. Murder, no less. What? By proving to the satisfaction of the police that he was busy at the time blowing open someone's safe.” 42:15 · “- That's right, Gavner. - Good gracious me.” 42:23 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.
