Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: solemn and anticipatory; themes: divine intervention, group action, transition from land to water; style notes: low-key lighting in interior, naturalistic water scenes, underwater shot with diffuse light

A man speaks of divine justice before leading others into water; the final frame shows a submerged figure. The setting transitions from a dim interior to open water.

“I can only say this. If the gods are just, they will help.” 67:39 · “All right, let's get started. Follow me.” 67:43 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.
