Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent and tense; themes: escape, obedience, rural setting; style notes: black-and-white, natural outdoor lighting, medium and close shots, static framing

Two men are in an outdoor, brushy area; one is on horseback, the other crouches with a dog. One man orders the other to go get someone named Jerry. The scene is shot in black and white with natural lighting.

“I can't get it. Well, come on, we've got to get out of here and get back to town. We can't afford to be seen here.” 32:33 · “I want you to go get Jerry.” 32:43 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.
