Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: conflict between cowboys, duty and resentment, rural Western setting; style notes: medium shots, static camera, high-contrast black and white, outdoor natural lighting

Two men in cowboy hats are at a wooden corral with a horse; one is adjusting the saddle while the other watches and speaks. The dialogue suggests tension between them and references a third person, 'that boy on his neck'.

“Be sure you don't leave no slack in that cinch. The boss will sure howl.” 36:10 · “Yeah, this ain't the first pony I ever saddled.” 36:14 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.
