Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: surveillance, desert encampment, command hierarchy; style notes: low-key lighting, tight framing around a table, high contrast black-and-white

A group of men are gathered around a table with a lantern in a dimly lit outdoor setting; one man in a light coat is told to stay away from a blanket and to keep watch. A voice asks if Joe called and instructs to get him back.

“Hey, get away from there. You won't like showing all over the desert.” 37:36 · “I said to keep a lookout. All right, then get outside and look. And stay away from that blanket.” 37:41 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.
