Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense, desperate, and claustrophobic; themes: illness, desperation, calling for help, emotional collapse; style notes: extreme low-key lighting, minimal visibility, tight framing on partial figures, high contrast between shadow and faint highlights

A person is in distress, speaking of fever and sickness, calling for help and names including Harry and Larry, while another person responds. The scene is dark and visually indistinct, with only partial glimpses of a figure and movement.

“I think I'll get in with him. You don't mind. Of course not. Agnes.” 36:58 · “You sure you can make it? I've got to make it.” 37:05 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.
