Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense, action-oriented; themes: journey, survival, classical antiquity; style notes: wide shots, natural lighting, outdoor epic scale

A man is shown lying on sandy ground, then standing in a desert-like landscape, and finally riding a horse through a wooded area. The sequence suggests movement across different terrains in an outdoor setting.

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.
