Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: negotiative; themes: land use, neighborhood relations, western frontier; style notes: medium shots of riders, natural outdoor lighting, black-and-white film stock

Two men on horseback converse outdoors near a ditch; one is addressed as 'Mr. Evans' and the other as 'Bert'. The dialogue suggests a negotiation over water rights and neighborly relations.

“Now let's start off from scratch. You got more water than you need.” 39:22 · “Now, do you mind if I call you Quirk?” 39:31 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.
