Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and urgent; themes: naval warfare, military command, decision under pressure; style notes: black-and-white, medium to close shots, high contrast lighting, smoke used for dramatic effect

Two naval officers are seen on a ship's deck amid smoke, discussing the risk of running aground and postponing an attack on the Minnesota. A large sailing warship is visible in the water nearby.

“Chance of running aground in this smoke, sir. I hope to attack the Minnesota. Best take no risk. We'll finish the rest tomorrow.” 43:28 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.
