Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: angry, confrontational; themes: betrayal, anger, power struggle; style notes: close-up framing on the woman's face, high-contrast lighting, static camera, black-and-white film

A woman in a white dress yells at a man named Chris in a bedroom; she accuses him of being old and ugly and demands he leave. The man is seen as a dark silhouette near the bed in the final frame.

“Oh, you idiot. How can a man be so dumb? Kitty.” 85:00 · “I've wanted to laugh in your face ever since I first met you. You're old and ugly and I'm sick of you. Sick, sick, sick. Kitty, for heaven's sake. You killed Johnny?” 85:09 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. 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.
