Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conversational; themes: deception, impending weather as metaphor, dialogue-driven scene; style notes: black-and-white, medium close-ups alternating with wide shot of car, studio lighting with high contrast

A man and a woman are in a convertible car; the man is driving and the woman is speaking. The woman mentions rain and asks to put the top up, and the man responds about a missing ring and a phony story.

“All I know is you came into my office with a phony story and a ring and” 58:06 · “Now I ain't got the ring and I'm stuck with the story.” 58:09 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.
