Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense but comforting; themes: reassurance, care, domestic anxiety; style notes: static medium shot, high-contrast lighting, domestic interior framing

A man sits beside a woman lying on a couch while speaking comfortingly; the transcript indicates reassurance that she will not be left alone. The setting is an interior room with wood-paneled walls and a lamp.

“Oh, the poor thing's trembling. Oh, what's the matter, baby? Oh, we're not gonna leave you alone tonight.” 17:09 · “Not for a single minute.” 17:21 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.
