It's actually On the Beach at Night Alone and has already been released by another label.

So there's no way it's anything but In the Heat of the Night, correct?

Literally the only plausible guess so far

Werewolf by Night

Cinema Guild just released this on Blu-ray two months ago.

I don’t think it’s In the Heat of the Night because the prescence of the book probably indicates a word like rest, holiday, or vacation is in the title, because otherwise it’s an unnescessary detail.

Great guess! I caught the first 30 minutes or so of this on TCM while staying in the hospital a while back. I'd love to give it a second chance.

Are you being facetious? It's just like the Raisin in the Sun clue which also had unnecessary detail in the drawing. In the Heat of the Night was a book first so if anything that's what it's there for.

There would be a dream indicated if that was it

Bresson's Lanculot du Lac? I suppose there would be a lake if so.

No, the SPF was a necessary detail that explained why the grapes would turn to raisins. The book is just doing nothing.

The knight has their arm up because of the heat from the sun (hence the expressive lines around their head).

It's definitely In the Heat of the Night.

Because everyone knows that if you leave some grapes out in the sun they turn into raisins, but if you first lather them with sunscreen then they turn into a single raisin
