Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: mysterious and solemn; themes: supernatural return, absence of human agency, religious or ritual space; style notes: high-contrast lighting, silhouetted figures, static framing emphasizing stillness and shadow

A dark, shadowy interior shows a figure in silhouette near a large bell; the transcript describes a gauntlet returning home and a bell ringing with no one present. The setting is identified as Los Angeles, California, in the dialogue.

“Gauntlet! He has come home! Who brought it, Father? Nobody. There was nobody there. Only the dead man.” 3:57 · “Who is he? Did he ring the bell to say the gauntlet had come home? He was Dennis' ring. Nobody was up there.” 4:30 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.
