Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense, urgent; themes: confinement, authority, child in peril; style notes: high-contrast lighting, silhouettes, tight framing on faces and windows, suggesting suspense

A figure is seen on a rooftop at night, followed by scenes inside a dim room where a man speaks near a window and another figure is handled roughly. The transcript includes commands to put someone to bed and references to 'Dodge' and 'John Oliver'.

“Look him away! Look him away!” 64:43 · “Well done, Dodge.” 64:53 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.
