- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense but resolved; themes: conflict and resolution, family dynamics, transportation as setting; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots indoors, wide shots outdoors, naturalistic lighting
A man and a woman converse indoors, then the scene cuts to a man standing on a train car and a train engineer in the cab. The dialogue suggests a decision to stay despite concerns about conflict, and a character named Smoke returns to pilot the train.
“It does look like we might have a war. Dad, don't you start talking about the war too.” 12:39 · “We've had all these diploma boys before, you know. He'll learn soon enough to stay out of our way.” 12:55 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.
