Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent and pleading; themes: conflict, pleading, cultural encounter; style notes: black-and-white, close-up framing on the woman, dim lighting with high contrast

A woman in a feathered headdress is shown in close-up while a man speaks off-screen, pleading with someone named Luana not to leave. The setting appears to be a dimly lit interior with other figures present.

“Luana! Luana, don't go with them, Luana. White men want you to stay here with him always. Don't you understand, Luana? I want you to stay here with me.” 33:34 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.
