Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: relieved and emotionally charged; themes: reunion, justice, betrayal; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, studio lighting, classic 1940s framing with group compositions

A man in a suit sits while another man in a white shirt embraces a woman; a man in a white coat stands nearby. The group is indoors, and dialogue indicates a reunion after a trial.

“Where are we?” 85:12 · “Well, look. Carlotta. Carlotta. You double-crosser, why didn't you come to my trial? Where have you been? Ronnie, Ronnie, you're free. I said...” 85:13 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.
