Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and intimate; themes: confrontation, exhaustion, secrets; style notes: low-key lighting, close framing, high contrast black-and-white, confined space

A man lies in bed while another man stands over him in a dimly lit room; dialogue suggests a confrontation about truth and exhaustion. One man is told to take a key to the botany.

“Light out.” 15:35 · “the truth oh not what you think not that green business the real truth but you've been wearing yourself out why you passed out like any neurotic” 15:38 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.
