Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: somber and mysterious; themes: nostalgia, nighttime solitude, fragmented memory or song; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white lighting, tight framing on the woman’s profile, wide shot of dark outdoor scene with minimal detail

A woman in period dress is shown in profile against a dark background; a separate frame shows a dim outdoor scene with figures and a tripod-like structure. The transcript includes fragmented phrases about a road, home, and the moon.

“Road Mary.” 50:14 · “Around the old” 50:20 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.
