Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and somber; themes: moral conflict, frontier justice, care for the wounded, personal history; style notes: static medium shots, high-contrast lighting, period costume, interior setting

A woman and a man converse in a room; the woman later closes a door and walks away, while a man lies in bed, apparently ill. The dialogue references frontier violence, medical care, and personal character.

“But he's badly injured, Doctor. This isn't civilized Pennsylvania. This is a raw frontier. You must take a realistic attitude.” 11:11 · “This is a place where mayhem, theft, and murder are the commonplace instead of the unusual. Would that justify leaving a wounded man to die? Build your house by the side of the road and be a friend to man.” 11:18 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.
