Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: urgent and communal; themes: community care, frontier medicine, horse as central concern; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, natural outdoor lighting, group composition

A man identifies himself as a horse doctor and president of the Board of Health while attending to a sick horse; others refer to him as 'Doc Forsyte' and mention a daughter with 'the favor.' The scene takes place outdoors near a wagon with several people and horses present.

“Anyone here know how to treat a sick horse? I'm a horse doctor. I'm president of the Board of Health, too.” 22:36 · “Your horse got the box” 22:54 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.
