Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: intimate, tense; themes: dreaming, longing, place and identity; style notes: close framing, low-key lighting, high contrast shadows, static camera

A man lies on a bed while a woman stands beside him in a dimly lit room; she speaks to him about dreaming and living in the Casbah. The scene is shot in close-up and medium shots with low-key lighting.

“You are dreaming about something with your eyes wide open.” 38:16 · “I wish you'd dream about me. Look, you've always lived in the Casbah.” 38:23 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.
