Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: confrontation, outdoor escape, Western genre tropes; style notes: black-and-white, medium close-ups and group shots, high-contrast lighting typical of 1940s Westerns

A man in a white shirt and neckerchief reacts with surprise and then gestures while holding a gun; another man in a suit and hat is visible nearby. A group of men in hats and period clothing emerge from a dark area into an outdoor setting with trees.

“Oh, my God.” 58:17 · “Boy, you sure had me fooled for a minute.” 58:23 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.
