Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: anxious and foreboding; themes: impending invasion, evacuation, gender roles in wartime, personal dread versus official policy; style notes: black-and-white, medium two-shot framing, natural outdoor lighting with dappled shadows, static camera

A man and a woman sit outdoors in a garden-like setting, discussing the impending arrival of Japanese forces and the evacuation of women and children. The woman holds a dark bowl and appears distressed as they talk about being forced to leave.

“But how? How can you prepare for it?” 4:09 · “Well, I'm really ashamed to think of what I might do if they came. No.” 4:13 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.
