Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and defensive; themes: fear, ghosts, family remedy, denial of cowardice; style notes: black-and-white, medium shot, high-contrast lighting with shadows, static framing

Two men are in a dimly lit room; one is seated and wrapped in a blanket, the other stands over him holding a small object. The standing man speaks dismissively while the seated man responds defensively about being unafraid and mentions a ghost and a haunted house.

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.
