“I don't know how much more of this I can take. You've had me in hot water so long I feel like a tea bag. Well, why don't you quit? I can take it from here. Oh, sure. Now that you got me over a barrel, now that I'm wanted for murder...” 71:23

Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and anxious; themes: falsely accused, fugitive, romantic tension, urban crime; style notes: medium shots, high-contrast lighting, classic noir framing with characters centered and background depth

A man and a woman stand outside with luggage while a man in a suit holds a newspaper; dialogue indicates they are discussing a murder accusation and the woman's frustration. The setting appears to be a public entrance, possibly a hotel or station, with other people in the background.

“Just read all about it. Police, capture, killer.” 71:09 · “They got me. New York Gang Slayer Jail. It's a New York murderer he's yelling about. Oh yeah sure and I'm just a San Francisco murderer.” 71:14 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.
