Model opinion, not evidence: mood: melancholic and reflective; themes: memory, regret, nature; style notes: silhouette framing against dramatic sky, low-angle shot, natural lighting

A silhouette of three figures stands against a sunset sky with clouds and a bush visible on the left. The transcript includes a character reflecting on a past experience in Africa and exclaiming in distress.

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.
