Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and anxious; themes: isolation, fear, nocturnal journey; style notes: close-up profile shots, high-contrast lighting, confined framing within the car

A man and a woman are in a vehicle at night; the woman is distressed and asks to stop, while the man agrees. The frames show them from inside the car, with darkness outside and no visible buildings.

“I can't stand anymore. Stop at the first place you come to and let's get out of this.” 22:57 · “All right, baby. Now calm down.” 22:57 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.
