Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent; themes: escape, desert setting, urgency; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white, night exterior, medium shots focusing on character action

A man in a dark coat stands outdoors at night holding an object while another man in a cowboy hat works near a truck. A voice tells someone called 'Princess' to hurry as if escaping a desert tornado.

“Make it fast, Princess. Just like you're going to beat the desert tornado.” 44:45 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.
