Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and accusatory; themes: suspicion, denial, rural law enforcement, monster accusation; style notes: black-and-white, low-key lighting, close-ups on emotional faces, wide shots of swamp setting

A group of men, including a sheriff, are gathered in a swampy area at night, searching for bodies and accusing one man named Walker of hiding them. Walker denies killing anyone, claiming he only wanted to scare people and loved his legs and someone else.

“I want some straight answers, Walker.” 29:16 · “Where'd you hide them after you killed them?” 29:23 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.
