A woman and two men are shown in close-up in a dark interior, speaking about hiding in the woods and mental collapse. The dialogue suggests one man is urging the woman not to harm herself, while another man appears in a separate shot.
“They searched the woods. I watched them. Here, like God, looking into the lands. I'll hide in the woods. They won't search there again.” 87:39 · “Oh, darling, you're on a verge of a breakdown. Now you've cracked. Why else would you leave your bed? Clown to an empty church town in the dead of night.” 87:39 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.
