Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and suspenseful; themes: suspense, confrontation, caution; style notes: low-key lighting, tight framing on faces, high contrast between light and shadow

Three men stand together in darkness, one holding a rifle; they are tense and whispering about someone approaching. No names are spoken, and no location is identified beyond being outdoors at night.

“Chances are he'll get close enough for us to grab him before he ceases. Don't breathe, Elmer.” 53:03 · “Maybe he's found what he's looking for and isn't coming any further.” 53:13 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.
