Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and urgent; themes: racing, authority, miscommunication; style notes: black-and-white, wide shots of outdoor setting, medium close-ups for dialogue, natural lighting

A race is being prepared at a track with officials and spectators present; a character named Brannigan is addressed and urged to start the race on time. The setting includes a grandstand and a dirt track with distant mountains.

“Close time in two minutes, Miss Marjorie. Please give us as much time as you can, Mr. Brannigan. I'm sure they'll be here any minute now.” 67:19 · “I insist that this race be started on time, Brannigan.” 67:26 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.
