Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense, nocturnal, conversational; themes: nighttime dialogue, animal reference, intimate address; style notes: low-key lighting with blue tones, close-up framing on faces, static camera

A man lies down at night while another person stands nearby; a hyena is mentioned in dialogue. The scene is dimly lit with blue tones, suggesting nighttime outdoors.

“He's the one who makes all the noise at night. I don't mind him too much. You know what that bad breath just said to me?” 92:03 · “The hyena?” 92:10 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.
