Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent and distressed; themes: distress, urgency, nighttime peril; style notes: high-contrast, blue-green tinted lighting; static camera; dramatic framing through doorways and windows

A man in period clothing holds a woman on a balcony at night; green on-screen text calls out names and a plea for a doctor. The scene is lit with a blue-green tint, suggesting night or a stylized interior.

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.
