Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and intimate; themes: confrontation, secrecy, domestic space as refuge; style notes: low-key lighting, medium close-ups, static framing emphasizing dialogue and character expressions

A man and a woman converse in a dimly lit room; the woman later examines a bed and a fur stole. The dialogue suggests an impending confrontation and a plan for the woman to stay overnight.

“It'll have to be done sooner or later.” 58:28 · “first they'll make me account for every minute I've been away. Inquisitive, hmm?” 58:35 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.
