Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense, urgent; themes: domestic authority, obedience, aging; style notes: static medium shot, high-contrast lighting, period costume, minimal set

An older man in a nightshirt and robe stands at a table while a woman in a shawl leans toward him; he speaks to her, instructing her to fetch his overcoat and hat and then go to the box room. The setting is a dimly lit interior room with a table holding teacups and a kettle.

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.
