- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: political threat, hostage situation, Cold War paranoia; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, staged composition typical of 1950s studio films
A man in a hat and white shirt stands over seated men in a living room, holding a rifle; another man in a suit enters and speaks. The transcript reveals a threat to kill the speaker instead of the president, and a demand for information about who is behind the plot.
“He's your president too.” 48:06 · “Take a deal with you, boy.” 48:08 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.
