Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: contemplative and somber; themes: legacy, mortality, reflection; style notes: medium close-ups, dim lighting with strong contrast, static framing focused on faces and documents

Four people are at a bar, one man reads a document while others look on; a voice mentions Kilimanjaro and a frozen leopard. No names are spoken that identify any person in the frames.

“You're right, Emile. You look behind you and what do you see? Only a black side.” 84:30 · “We must think of the future. I have been left a legacy.” 84:36 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.
