Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and introspective; themes: personal resolve, gender roles, rural vs. personal identity; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots transitioning to close-up, high-contrast lighting emphasizing facial expressions

A man in a cowboy hat and vest stands in a brick-walled interior while speaking with a woman; the dialogue suggests a personal vow and a moment of decision. The woman is shown in close-up reacting to the man, who remains partially visible in the final frame.

“Before I was 15, I learned to hate those things.” 33:34 · “I swore I'd leave plows and pitchforks to farmers.” 33:37 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.
