Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: formal and anticipatory; themes: Southern identity, political or social movements, introductions and alliances; style notes: medium close-ups on conversing characters; static framing; high-contrast black-and-white lighting typical of 1930s Westerns

Two men in cowboy hats converse outdoors near a wagon, while a third man in similar attire stands by the wagon holding a rifle. The dialogue references a movement and an upcoming meeting in Sageville.

“This is my uncle, Colonel Holbrooke.” 20:24 · “There's a movement afoot now that can't fail to interest those from the Old South” 20:36 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.
