Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense, urgent; themes: naval warfare, command under pressure, imminent collision; style notes: black-and-white, high-contrast lighting on cannon, wide shot of sea battle

A naval battle scene shows a damaged ship in the water and a cannon being fired from a vessel. A voice calls out to someone named Jordan, warning not to open something and announcing an intent to ram.

“Don't open, Pa. I'm going to ram.” 45:16 · “Aye, sir.” 45:16 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.
