Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and bureaucratic; themes: bureaucratic delay, absence of authority, urban setting; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, natural lighting outdoors, interior lit by practicals

A man in a suit is seen indoors on the phone, then the scene cuts to two men in suits talking on a street outside a building with a sign. The transcript reveals a phone call to a police inspector's office, which is unanswered, and a conversation about a missing policeman.

“Lieutenant of United States Airborne Infantry.” 22:30 · “I'm sorry, monsieur. You've only got one there. What about one for my friend outside? Monsieur? My watchdog, the policeman, who's wearing the carpet out. There is no policeman, monsieur. Oh, yes, there is. Hey, you're right, he's gone. Is that all, monsieur? Well, yeah. Thanks. Yeah, monsieur?” 22:35 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.
