Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and intimate; themes: departure, personal conflict, domestic space; style notes: low-key lighting, close framing, static shots, period costume

A woman stands in a dimly lit stone-walled room while a man sleeps in bed; dialogue includes references to a car, an address, and a name 'Margaret'. The scene ends with the word 'Amen' and a call of 'Lila'.

“You fill out the address just right.” 12:20 · “Margaret, you're a nuisance.” 12:37 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.
