Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: authority, departure, urgency; style notes: medium shot, static framing, high-contrast lighting typical of 1930s studio films

A man in overalls and a hat stands near a desk while another man in a suit speaks to a woman in a patterned dress; the woman says she is going to leave. The transcript indicates the mute is returning and the sheriff needs to speak with him before he leaves town.

“Matt, the mute's back, Sheriff.” 14:56 · “I'll be back in a minute, Miss Talley.” 15:08 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.
