Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: confrontation, unspoken tension, social hierarchy; style notes: medium close-ups and medium shots, high-contrast lighting, static camera, period costume

A man in a suit and another man in a fez stand in a dimly lit interior while a woman in a blouse and necklace looks on; dialogue suggests a tense conversation about a visit that upset someone. The woman is shown in close-up twice, and the men are shown interacting in medium shots.

“How is she? She? You know. I'm afraid you won't see her again. The last visit was a little too much for her. She got a bad impression of the Casper. It's a pity. Why should it be a pity?” 62:45 · “It seems to mean so much to you. To me? So that's what you're so sorry about. Why are you standing there, staring at me? Do as I told you.” 62:57 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.
