Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: melancholic and intimate; themes: romantic tension, nocturnal setting, emotional vulnerability; style notes: low-key lighting with blue tint, close framing on faces, medium shots emphasize proximity of characters

A woman and a man are shown in close-up and medium shots on a ship at night; the woman speaks about the moon. The setting is dark with blue lighting, and a life preserver is visible in the background.

“El Terrain, is this mind me, blinds me, tell me why, why does the moon in the sky seem to gleam brighter on thunder?” 43:36 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.
