Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: ominous and suspenseful; themes: isolation, nighttime dread, voyage; style notes: high-contrast lighting, blue tint, static camera, expressionist framing

A figure in white stands in a doorway overlooking a dark balcony at night; the scene cuts to a ship's mast against a blue sky and to dark water. No names are spoken, and no dialogue is present in the transcript.

“*Rainful music*” 60:55 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.
