Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and anticipatory; themes: Western frontier, confrontation, cowboy culture; style notes: black-and-white Western framing, wide shots of landscape, medium shots of characters in cowboy attire, natural lighting

A man in a cowboy hat walks toward the camera in a dusty, rocky landscape; later, three men in cowboy attire stand together talking. A horse is mentioned in the transcript, and one man suggests testing new boots by running.

“Oh, my God.” 62:10 · “It's a horse like Quirada.” 62:22 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.
