- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and intimate in the bedroom, then academic and formal in the classroom; themes: nightmares and psychological distress, academic inquiry into human experience; style notes: static medium shot in bedroom, high-contrast lighting typical of 1940s film noir; abrupt cut to classroom dialogue
A woman tends to a man lying in bed, speaking to him as if he is waking from a nightmare. Later, a student addresses a professor in a classroom setting, requesting to change their term paper topic.
“Frederick.” 33:23 · “You were having one of those horrible nightmares again.” 33:28 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.
