Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and urgent; themes: exploration, outdoor survival, teamwork in rugged terrain; style notes: wide shots emphasize scale of landscape; natural lighting; characters small against vast terrain

A person walks along a mountain trail while a dog stands nearby; two people are later seen climbing a rocky slope. The dialogue references mountain goats and includes a command to 'go on back.'

“All right, Jack. Go on back. Over. Go to turn her.” 27:53 · “You were sure right about the mountain goats.” 28:00 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.
