Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and procedural; themes: justice system, bail and legal procedure, public spectacle; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, period Western costumes, abrupt cuts between interior and exterior

Two men discuss bail for John while seated outdoors; a scene in a jail office follows with a man behind bars and another at a desk; a third shot shows two men at a jail cell door with paperwork; the final shot is an outdoor crowd at a government mule race starting point.

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.
