Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conversational; themes: personal change, male friendship or rivalry, criticism of behavior; style notes: medium shots, static camera, studio lighting, period costumes and set design

Two men in suits are in a room with bookshelves and decorative curtains; one sits in an ornate chair while the other stands and speaks to him. The transcript indicates a conversation about personal habits and a recent athletic performance, with one man accusing the other of changing his behavior.

“Hey, what's that, sir?” 35:01 · “Don, you're off on the wrong foot. A couple of weeks ago you were satisfied with a quiet, nice girl.” 35:11 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.
