Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and exploratory; themes: exploration, survival, debate over risk; style notes: black-and-white, medium and close-up shots, natural lighting with high contrast, static framing focused on character interaction

A group of men in safari attire stands near a riverbank in a wooded area; two men in hats are shown in close-up, one holding a rifle, while another man in a pith helmet speaks. The dialogue suggests they are debating crossing a frail structure and searching for white crocodiles, with one stating the current location is not suitable.

“Amen.” 53:14 · “It looks mighty frail to me.” 53:17 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.
