Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: survival, man versus nature, nighttime peril; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white lighting, medium close-ups on the man, wide shot to reveal the lion, dramatic framing with moon in background

A shirtless man is shown in a jungle at night, reacting with alarm as a lion approaches. The scene includes a white bird perched nearby and a full moon visible in the sky.

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.
