Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and accusatory; themes: blame, mystery, consequences of involvement; style notes: black-and-white, medium close-ups, high-contrast lighting, static camera

A man in a fedora and a woman in a robe argue in a dimly lit interior; another woman in a floral hat sits nearby. The dialogue references a dead man, a drawing, and blame for entangling the speaker in danger.

“You could have done that. That's what I'm asking you. You got me into all of this. I was leading a nice, quiet, safe life until you came along. It was dull, but quiet and safe. Look, I'm sorry.” 29:01 · “I don't know who it was who messed up you, Roman. I don't know who the little guy was who ended up on his face in my bedroom. You don't know anything, Roman. It's just one big mystery to you. Bodies all over the place. Drawings of you. In the pocket of a dead man. Now, listen. You don't even know where the drawing came from, I suppose.” 29:11 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.
