Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense or urgent; themes: coercion, persuasion, physical vulnerability; style notes: static medium shot, high-contrast black-and-white, theatrical lighting

A person in a light shirt and dark pants is seen lying prone on a surface, with foliage and a large cylindrical object in the background. The transcript contains repeated urging phrases, suggesting someone is being coaxed to move.

“You come along. I'll forget you. Come along. I'll buy you some more. Come on. Come on.” 62:16 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.
