Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and introspective; themes: emotional dependency, fear of abandonment, conflict between security and freedom; style notes: static medium shot, low-key lighting with blue night tones, intimate framing of two characters in a camp setting

A man and a woman are in a dimly lit outdoor camp setting at night; the woman holds a drink and speaks about her relationship with Harry, while the man listens. The dialogue reveals her internal conflict about revealing a pregnancy and her dependence on Harry, while the man offers terse advice.

“We came to Africa for trophies. Harry's got his and I've got mine.” 35:44 · “All my life I've just been drifting.” 36:02 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.
