Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and urgent; themes: escape, hiding, pursuit; style notes: high-contrast black and white, shadowy interior shot followed by a wide exterior shot at night, suggesting suspense

A person is seen in shadow indoors, then a man on horseback rides away from a building at night. Dialogue suggests a plan to wait in the dark and an escape, with one character urging another to hide at 'Blind Pete'.

“But without any lights on.” 19:18 · “Your light, Jay.” 19:42 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.
