Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and somber; themes: mystery, confrontation, personal artifact; style notes: high-contrast lighting, static framing, close-ups on objects to emphasize detail

Two men are in a dimly lit room; one sits at a table while the other stands beside him. A close-up shows a locket with a portrait on a table, alongside papers and a candlestick.

“Oh, yeah.” 31:12 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

Published 1922, so any US term has expired; no US registration under this title appears in the catalog. The status is a calculation from the date, not a finding about a record. 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.
