Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and emotional; themes: family separation, reassurance under duress; style notes: medium shots, static framing, high-contrast lighting typical of 1950s black-and-white film

Two women and a boy are in a room; one woman speaks reassuringly to the boy while the other looks on. The scene shifts to show the boy being led away as another woman enters the room.

“He'll be all right, don't worry.” 16:16 · “No, darling, be a good boy. Mommy will be home right away.” 16:18 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.
