Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense or startled; themes: outdoor peril, human scale against nature; style notes: wide shot establishing scale of landscape, medium shot focusing on characters' gestures, natural daylight

Two men are visible on a rocky mountainside path; one gestures while the other stands beside him. A distant village and snow-capped mountains are visible in the background. The transcript contains an exclamation at 29:00.

“Oh, my God.” 29:00 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.
