Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: suspenseful; themes: conspiracy, noir detective, urban night; style notes: high-contrast noir lighting, tight framing on character in car, wide shot establishing location

A man in a tuxedo is seen inside a car at night, with a police station visible outside. A line from the transcript suggests the character suspects a larger conspiracy.

“You know, I had a hunch this thing was much bigger than it looked.” 66:00 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.
