Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: ominous; themes: isolation, menace; style notes: low-key lighting, blue-green color cast, tight framing on doorway

A figure with pale skin and dark eyes peers from a dark doorway in a dimly lit interior. The scene is lit with a blue-green tint and shows no other objects or people.

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.
