Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: intimate, melancholic; themes: romantic entanglement, reluctant separation, nostalgia; style notes: close framing, low-angle shots, soft lighting on faces, high contrast between dark background and lit subjects

A man and a woman are in a tented camp at night; the man lies on a cot beside the woman who is in water, and they speak intimately. The dialogue suggests a romantic entanglement and a refusal to part.

“Because you run around him,” 59:57 · “What does it get you? Only this. If you have to write, I have a typewriter at home. I'll let you call your own.” 60:00 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.
