Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: somber and intimate; themes: marriage under duress, parental concern, displacement, memory; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, tight framing to emphasize emotional weight

A man in uniform speaks with a seated woman in a dim interior; he holds a small object while she listens. The transcript reveals they are discussing their children, past residence in Tokyo, and a move to Hiroshima, with references to a 15-year marriage and the ages of their three children.

“We used to live in Tokyo.” 87:02 · “Last year, I got the permission for them to move to Hiroshima” 87:10 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.
