Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and secretive; themes: confinement, secret meetings, inheritance, moral duty; style notes: static medium shots, high contrast lighting, period costumes, stone architecture

Three figures stand in a stone archway at night; one speaks of being held by force and mentions a necklace belonging to Oliver's mother. The setting appears to be an outdoor stone passage with steps, and the dialogue references a theft and duty.

“This is my uncle. How do you do? We waited for you last Sunday night. I couldn't get away. I was kept. By force.” 50:08 · “It isn't easy for me to leave unless he knows. But tonight he was drunk. He's drunk.” 50:08 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.
