Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: conflict, obedience vs. autonomy, regional identity; style notes: medium close-ups alternating with two-shots; high-contrast black-and-white lighting; static camera framing

A man in a military uniform and a woman stand near a horse in a rocky, mountainous landscape; they argue about why she followed him and whether they will return or go to town. The woman mentions being sent by 'Uncle Leif' to bring him back, but he insists they are going to town.

“Why, I didn't hear you, Betty.” 62:01 · “You're just a mean, stubborn, ornery Yankee.” 62:03 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.
