Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: gambling, confrontation, western setting; style notes: tight close-ups and medium shots in black-and-white; high-contrast lighting; static camera framing

Two men in cowboy hats are seated at a table with cards; one speaks while the other listens. Other men in hats stand or sit in a crowded room with shelves of bottles, suggesting a saloon. The transcript includes a musical cue and fragmented dialogue about a game.

“*Mario plays*” 42:40 · “And the game is high.” 42:43 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.
