“On the head of my father. You swear it on the head of your father just as if you were openly confessing your guilt. But it gives me the Jesus to swear, darling. Why? Because my old man is still alive.” 13:19 · “The old man's still alive. That's too bad. What do you want me to do about it? Wait?” 13:34

Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: denial, fatherhood, social class (reference to 'poor house'), dramatic irony; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, high-contrast lighting, static camera, period costume

A man in a robe speaks to another man in a suit while a woman looks on; the dialogue includes a denial and a reference to the speaker's living father. The setting appears to be an indoor room with other people present in the background.

“Eat you, try it.” 13:07 · “You're mistaken, sir.” 13:14 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.
