Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: survival, pursuit, nature as obstacle; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white cinematography, use of shadow and foliage to obscure and reveal, medium and long shots to emphasize environment over character detail

A woman hides among dense foliage while dogs move through a dark, wooded area; a man is seen climbing or moving through trees in the same environment. No dialogue or on-screen text is present in these frames.

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.
