Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and intimate; themes: domestic conflict, marital tension, time pressure; style notes: close two-shots, high-contrast lighting, focused on hands and faces

A man and a woman stand in a dim interior; the man holds a shoe and later touches the woman's hand, which has a ring. The transcript includes fragmented dialogue about location, time, and sleeping arrangements.

“Under the stove.” 16:37 · “Be reasonable.” 16:41 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.
