Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and procedural; themes: law enforcement, fugitive pursuit, train travel; style notes: static medium shot, high-contrast lighting, period costumes, staged composition

Four men stand outdoors at night near a train; one holds a paper and speaks to a sheriff about a fugitive named John Brad. The group discusses the fugitive’s identity and expresses hope the sheriff will catch him.

“Just got a wire that says you got a fugitive on board, bud.” 1:34 · “Guess we'll have to give you a train to watch over. All right, Sheriff, go ahead.” 1:37 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.
