- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and dramatic; themes: frame-up, conspiracy, detective work, recording as evidence; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, studio lighting, focused on character reactions and props
A man in a light suit and bow tie operates a recording machine in a room with several other people, including a woman in a striped dress and apron. He plays a record that he claims clears him of murder and exposes a conspiracy, but then says it is not the right record and accuses someone of switching it.
“Not all I'll show you. I'll fix these characters. The man's plum crazy. Wait, you hear this? I'll send all these guys to the cooler. That's right, Ronnie. You may be having a detective's convention, but I've been doing a little sleuthing myself in the modern way with a recording machine. Need any help?” 82:47 · “The record you're about to hear not only clears me of a murder charge, but also exposes a tremendous international conspiracy.” 83:03 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.
