Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent; themes: race, deadline, jail, horses; style notes: black-and-white, medium shot, outdoor daylight lighting, static framing

A man stands near horses and a wagon in an outdoor setting while dialogue references a race starting soon and Blair being in jail. The scene includes a visible wagon wheel and horses, with dialogue indicating urgency about a 9 o'clock deadline.

“Five minutes to go when Blair is safe in jail. This isn't a race. It's excursion.” 41:48 · “Well, what did you do, Doc?” 41:56 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.
