Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and accusatory; themes: justice, testimony, revenge; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting typical of 1930s courtroom scenes, focused on speaker's face

A woman testifies in a courtroom about an attack on a rancher, while two men sit nearby. The transcript indicates she witnessed the events firsthand and refers to the court and sheriff.

“The men are in this court, Your Honor.” 47:35 · “And I advise the sheriff not to let anyone leave this room.” 47:37 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.
