- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: legal jeopardy, memory and identity, marital tension; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, formal framing typical of 1940s noir
A woman in a striped dress stands in an office while a man in a hat speaks; another man in a suit is seated. The dialogue references amnesia and a mechanic in Larkspur, Idaho. No names are established for the visible people beyond 'Mr. William' and 'Mrs. Peters' mentioned in speech.
“Pretty convenient wasn't it.” 81:53 · “A dead man can't be tried for murder.” 81:56 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.
