Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and urgent; themes: rescue, struggle against nature, gender roles in peril; style notes: black-and-white, medium and close shots, natural lighting with high contrast shadows

A man in a pith helmet is stuck in mud while a woman in a white blouse is partially submerged in water nearby; a shirtless man stands on a rock. The dialogue indicates the woman is named Eleanor and the man is being urged to get out of the mud.

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.
