Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense negotiation; themes: transportation, social status, gender roles; style notes: medium close-ups on faces, wide shot of stagecoach; high-contrast lighting typical of 1930s Westerns

A man and a woman converse beside a stagecoach; the woman asks for transport to Crescent City, and the man states it is the only available stagecoach. The woman reveals her father owns the town and is Dr. Forsythe.

“Oh, are you the driver? Yes, why? Why?” 18:59 · “Then isn't there any other way I can get to Crescent City?” 19:02 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.
