Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense, somber; themes: isolation, childhood distress, institutional setting; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast black and white, minimal set design

A young boy in a plaid shirt is shown in a room with a damaged bed and wall; he is audible saying 'Hey! Let's stop it!' at 49:59. The room appears to be a simple, possibly institutional, interior space with minimal furnishings.

“Hey! Let's stop it!” 49:59 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.
