Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: noirish, tense, conspiratorial; themes: crime, deception, romance under pressure; style notes: black-and-white, high-contrast lighting, medium close-ups in car, wide shot of car at night, intimate two-shots in restaurant

A man and a woman are shown in a restaurant setting, followed by a scene of a car at night. The transcript mentions a character named Carlotta and references a map and a murder suspect named Ronnie Jackson. The dialogue implies a plan to travel to Washington and obtain money.

“Well, that takes care of him.” 68:12 · “He's a real help to us, that boy. What about the girl?” 68:14 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.
