Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: quiet, intimate; themes: domestic life, nighttime, parenthood; style notes: black-and-white, low-key lighting, close framing on faces and beds, static camera

A baby sleeps in a bed, then a woman is shown awake in bed, followed by a scene where she stands in a dimly lit room, and finally a person is seen lying down again. The setting appears to be a bedroom at night, with no dialogue or visible text.

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.
