- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: detached observation mixed with dark humor; themes: spectacle of violence, moral ambiguity, frontier justice; style notes: wide establishing shot of landscape, medium two-shot of observers, close action shot behind cover; high-contrast black-and-white lighting
Two men in cowboy hats observe a distant fight from a high vantage point; one speaks about enjoying the spectacle. A separate shot shows a log cabin under attack with smoke rising, and another shows a man aiming a rifle from behind a log wall.
“How's it look from up here? I don't know when I've enjoyed watching a fight as much as this one.” 42:26 · “Killing each other is the only public service any of them ever did.” 42:34 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.
