Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and threatening; themes: confrontation, power imbalance, physical vulnerability; style notes: low-key lighting, high contrast, tight framing on faces and gestures, suggesting a noir or suspenseful tone

Two men are in a dim, rocky interior; one orders the other to stand against a wall, but the second man claims he is frozen and cannot move. The first man threatens to force him up, prompting a fearful reaction from the second.

“On your feet up against that wall.” 56:14 · “Unfortunately, I'm frozen to the ground.” 56:19 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.
