Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: ominous and melancholic; themes: haunting, isolation, nighttime dread; style notes: high-contrast lighting, blue tint, static framing, use of title cards

The beat shows exterior shots of old, dark buildings followed by interior scenes of a person pointing and then embracing another in a dimly lit room. A title card reads, "This is what I see every night...!".

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.
