Model opinion, not evidence: mood: formal and posed; themes: Western attire, social gathering, gender roles in period dress; style notes: static medium shot, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, period costume detail emphasized

A group of people in period Western attire stand on a wooden porch or balcony. One woman in a light dress holds a parasol while others, including men in hats and vests, look on.

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.
