Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: intimate, dreamlike; themes: dreams, childhood, identity, pursuit; style notes: low-key lighting, static medium shot, high contrast shadows, period costume and set design

A man and a woman are in a dimly lit room; the man, seated and facing away, listens as the woman describes a dream about chasing her as a child who grows into an adult. The room contains a bed, a chair, and a framed picture on the wall.

“About me.” 72:41 · “There was... there was something I was trying to stop you from doing.” 72:52 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.
