Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: somber and tense; themes: farewell, conflict, illness, colonial setting; style notes: low-key lighting with blue tones, medium shot framing, static camera, theatrical staging

A person lies on a cot under a canopy at night while two others stand nearby; one speaks about sending someone away and another says goodbye in Italian and Swahili. The scene is dimly lit with blue tones, suggesting nighttime outdoors.

“I'm going to go.” 96:59 · “He's the uncle of the boy that I tried to save from the hippo. Send him away. We don't want him.” 97:04 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.
