Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: confrontation, law enforcement, mortality; style notes: static medium shots, high contrast black and white, outdoor natural lighting

A group of men on horseback is seen in a rugged outdoor setting, followed by a scene where a man lies on the ground while another stands over him and a third kneels beside him. A voice commands the group to surrender, and another voice states that a man appears to be dead.

“Put them up, boys. You're not going to get away this time.” 52:10 · “We're not trying to get away.” 52:10 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.
