Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: melancholic and tense; themes: loneliness, unfulfilled dreams, urban danger, social isolation; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white lighting, medium shots on street, close-ups in interior, dramatic shadows

Two men talk on a rainy street at night; one is robbed and rescued, then taken to a woman's apartment where he meets her and another man. The scene ends in a bar with a bartender and a couple seated at a table.

“Well, to be loved by a young girl like that. You know, nobody ever looked at me like that.” 6:56 · “Not even when I was young. Yes, when we're young we have dreams that never pan out. But we go on dreaming.” 7:03 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.
