- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent and conversational; themes: media frenzy, criminal justice, pressroom chaos; style notes: tight framing on characters, high-contrast lighting, period costumes with hats and suits
Men in hats and suits are in a press room, talking on telephones and discussing a criminal case involving an alienist. One man is smoking a pipe while another speaks on the phone about a doctor named Eggelhofer.
“Say, take that one of you birds with me. You ain't doing anything, Ernie? I'll take two. And one's with a big one. What's the matter with you guys? Crippled or something?” 24:11 · “Press room, huh? Wait a minute. Hello, Sarge. McHugh talking. Hold the line, will ya?” 24:21 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.
