Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and intimate; themes: intimacy, suspense, urban anonymity; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white lighting, medium close-ups and medium shots, use of shadow and depth to create atmosphere

A man and a woman embrace in a dim interior; the man later appears alarmed while another man in a hat walks through a crowded area. No dialogue or on-screen text is present in these frames.

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.
