Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: mysterious; themes: isolation, rural setting; style notes: high-contrast black and white, static medium shot, chiaroscuro lighting from doorway

A person in a light-colored robe stands inside a dim, rustic wooden structure with tools and a lantern hanging. The scene is shot in black and white with high contrast lighting, showing the figure from the side near a doorway.

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.
