Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: ominous, suspenseful; themes: death, mystery, intrusion; style notes: high-contrast chiaroscuro lighting, static camera, medium shot emphasizing the coffin and figure's approach

A coffin rests in a dim, stone-walled chamber. A silhouetted figure approaches the coffin, then leans over it.

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.
