Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and explanatory; themes: innocence, revelation, conflict resolution; style notes: medium close-ups and two-shots in black-and-white, natural outdoor lighting, period costume

A man and a woman on horseback are shown in a wooded outdoor setting; the man speaks to the woman, claiming innocence regarding her father's death and offering to prove it by explaining a bullet's trajectory. The woman appears skeptical but listens.

“Joe! Let go of those men!” 53:32 · “I'm as innocent of your father's death as you are. Please try to believe that.” 53:34 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.
