Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and formal; themes: legal proceedings, incarceration, reassurance under duress; style notes: medium shot, high-contrast black-and-white, frontal framing of barred window, static camera

A man in a shirt faces two men in suits and hats behind a barred window; one of the men is addressed as 'Wolf' and told he has been indicted by a grand jury. The transcript indicates Mrs. Williams was released and reassurance is given to someone named Walt.

“The grand jury returned indictment against you.” 86:35 · “Mrs. Williams was released.” 86:38 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.
