- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: dramatic and conclusive; themes: duty, romantic resolution, law enforcement; style notes: medium shot, static framing, high-contrast lighting typical of 1930s film, two characters in conversation with clear emotional stakes
A man in a light shirt and a woman in a dark uniform stand outdoors near a wooden structure; the man speaks about duty and leaving for Sacramento, announces the woman is going with him, and refers to someone being dead. He then presents her as the future Mrs. John Carruthers.
“Well, don't worry about that.” 52:18 · “It's all in my line of duty as a government marshal.” 52:19 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.
