Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and threatening; themes: child vulnerability, adult aggression, power imbalance; style notes: tight framing on characters, high-contrast lighting, static camera emphasizing confrontation

A man holds a boy named Oliver while another man approaches and points a knife at him. The boy is told to hurry and not to go slowly, and is called a bastard.

“Hurry, Oliver.” 67:38 · “Hurt me.” 67:40 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.
