Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and humorous; themes: crime, jail, bail, humor in adversity; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, static camera, high-contrast lighting

Two men are in a jail cell, speaking with a sheriff outside. One man asks for his shooting arms back, while another mentions needing $5,000 bail to get released. A third man enters, holding a dog, and speaks with the sheriff.

“I sort of messed it up, but I done it.” 63:46 · “Unless you got $5,000 bail to put up.” 64:32 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.
