Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: weary, tense; themes: exhaustion, fugitive tension, solitude; style notes: low-key lighting, tight framing on driver, rearview mirror used for character expression

A man drives a car at night, visibly exhausted, and decides to stop for sleep. He speaks about needing rest and mentions police presence as a factor in his decision.

“Right you go now.” 28:16 · “I couldn't drive any farther without some sleep. Cops and no cops. I knew I had to hit the hay and hit it hard. I was dead tired.” 28:25 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.
