- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: comic tension; themes: military discipline, reluctant obedience, bureaucratic absurdity; style notes: medium shots, static camera, high-contrast lighting, staged blocking typical of 1940s studio comedies
A sergeant instructs a recruit named Salo to stand at attention and assigns him to the company kitchen, while the recruit mutters about taking orders from a revenuer. The scene takes place in a barracks with multiple cots and soldiers present.
“Suck in your stomach! Throw out your chest! Put your heels together, Salo!” 29:10 · “From now on you take orders from Sergeant Cooper, do you understand?” 29:21 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.
