Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: dominance, compliance, intrusion, gender roles; style notes: black-and-white, medium shot framing two men in doorway, high-contrast lighting emphasizing facial expressions

Two men enter a house and assert control over its occupants, who comply while one man is described as a coward. The scene includes dialogue about going out, rain, and a movie, followed by a confrontation where the intruders demand obedience.

“What's with you? Some lover. Look, Katie, let's go for a walk or something. A wonderful night of big moons, stars. It's raining now. Oh, well, let's go to the movies. A terrific picture. You want to go to anything now? Sure, why not? No, Danny, what are you doing? I've got my nightgown on. It's adorable. What's the matter with you? Oh, company.” 71:06 · “Okay, lady, leave us have it. What do you want? Fix that. Who are you? Never mind. That's the man who gave me the money. Yeah. Sit down.” 71:39 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.
