- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and suspenseful; themes: fear, uncertainty, journey into unknown; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white lighting, tight close-ups on the driver's face, shallow depth of field emphasizing isolation
Two people are in a car at night; one is driving while the other gives directions. The driver appears tense as they approach a location marked by two big posts.
“Are you gonna get us more lost than ever? No, keep going. You'll come to it. Two big posts and then turn the car between them.” 23:43 · “I didn't know myself how I knew that. But the closer we came, the heart of my heart pounded.” 23:43 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.
