Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: eerie, suspenseful; themes: intrusion, nighttime danger; style notes: high-contrast blue lighting, static camera, medium shot emphasizing vertical movement

A figure in a long coat is seen climbing a stone wall at night, approaching a window. The scene is lit in blue, suggesting moonlight or artificial night lighting.

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.
