Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and procedural; themes: law enforcement, suspicion, frontier justice; style notes: medium close-up, high-contrast lighting, static framing typical of 1930s Westerns

A man in a cowboy hat is questioned by others in what appears to be a cantina or office setting; he is told he will be held until Jake Benson is located. He accepts the decision and asks about his preliminary hearing.

“Just how did you come to have this cantina of nuggets?” 41:50 · “Do you know anything about Jake Benson's disappearance?” 42:02 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.
