Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and urgent; themes: kidnapping, ransom, danger, decision under pressure; style notes: black-and-white, medium close-up from outside the car, high contrast lighting, focused on character expressions

Two people are in a car, discussing a ransom and a planned meeting at Sentinel Rock on Indian Wells Road. One person decides to go there despite the risk of being watched.

“If those kidnappers don't get their ransom money, they'll kill all the victims. They'll kill all the victims if they do get it.” 35:14 · “Everything Harmon's done proves that he never intends to let any of those fellows live to identify him.” 35:19 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.
