Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: medical authority, mental instability, restraint; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, confined framing

A man lies in a hospital bed while two others restrain him; one speaks to calm him. The man insists he is not crazy and demands to be released.

“Kurt. Of course we do. Easy, Doug. Easy.” 55:07 · “Well, I'm not, do you understand? Everything I said is true. I saw it with my own eyes. Give me your hand, Doctor. Now let me go!” 55:13 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.
