Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: nostalgic and reflective; themes: memory, past violence, western frontier; style notes: static medium shot, high contrast lighting, black-and-white film grain, period costume

A man in a hat and vest stands in a dimly lit interior with a wagon wheel visible; he speaks about past events involving Quirt and others in Dodge City. No names are spoken that identify him, and no other people are visible or audible in this beat.

“Why, Quirt and me once... Well, that wasn't Dodge City several years back, when the Ertz and Clintons were gunning it. Well, me and Quirt...” 91:33 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.
