Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: contemplative and intimate; themes: reflection, physical and emotional pain, companionship; style notes: low-key lighting, close framing, dark background suggesting nighttime or interior with minimal light sources

A woman and a man are shown in dimly lit interior shots, with the woman seated and the man lying down or reclining. The transcript includes a metaphor about a fighter going into the mountains and a reference to a thorn that had needled the speaker two weeks ago, followed by laughter.

“The way a fighter goes into the mountains to work the fat off his body.” 91:22 · “Might have made it to him.” 91:27 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.
