Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and suspicious; themes: distrust, isolation, survival; style notes: static medium shot, high-contrast lighting, Western costume, minimal set design

Two men in Western attire converse in a dim interior; one is being detained by the other’s group despite claiming to ride alone. The group plans to monitor him closely, considering using him or abandoning him in a tunnel if he proves untrustworthy.

“When I found that tunnel, you didn't expect me to stay out there with a posse on my heels, did you?” 28:37 · “ride alone” 28:45 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.
