Also said
“I see yours is Blake. Lieutenant Blake. How come a German speech is good English? Who said I was German? No, what are you? I've changed passports so often, I've lost touch. I was educated in England. My mother was a Czech, my father was a Pole. In those days, the Poles were Russians, the Czechs were Austrians. So you work it out.” 6:32 · “Come on, I said let's go. Determined, aren't you? You mind if I take this?” 7:09
Seen
military uniform [frame:1], rifle [frame:1], name tag reading 'LT. M. BLAKE 0-122403' [frame:2], cap [frame:1]
On screen

Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conversational; themes: identity in wartime, military bureaucracy, cross-cultural communication; style notes: low-key lighting, tight framing on two characters, high contrast black-and-white cinematography

A man identifies himself as Paul Rona, a newspaper correspondent who draws battle scenes, and speaks with Lieutenant Blake in a dim, enclosed space. Blake’s name tag is visible on his uniform as they discuss the war and prepare to move out.

“You see, I'm a newspaper correspondent. I draw for the papers.” 6:23 · “battle scenes, impressions. My name's Paul Rona.” 6:27 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.
