Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent and chaotic; themes: escape, disaster, regret; style notes: black-and-white, high-contrast lighting, wide shots of outdoor action, abrupt cuts to black

Two men and a dog are on a beach near palm trees; a large explosion occurs; a ship is seen with people on deck; the final frame is black. A transcript includes urgent dialogue about leaving, owing money, and a character named Friday, with exclamations of alarm.

“Gentlemen, the time flies. Here's Friday again. We've got to get out of here quick. Take the monkey and the dog and the parrot.” 63:20 · “Saturday! Oh, for the love of people. I knew it.” 67:11 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.
