Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and secretive; themes: confinement, escape, domestic duty; style notes: low-key lighting, high contrast, close framing in first shot, wider shot in second; period costume and setting

Two people are shown in a dim interior; one appears to be restraining another. A woman is later seen near a horse in what looks like a stable. The transcript mentions a grandmother, someone being sick, and a suggestion to leave through the front door.

“Why, she weren't there. Weren't there? No, Grandma mastered her sick, so she went over to sit up with her.” 41:58 · “Well, this is a fine time to be telling me about him.” 42:04 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.
