Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conspiratorial; themes: conspiracy, fugitive, moral dilemma; style notes: black-and-white, medium close-ups, high-contrast lighting on faces, static framing

Two men discuss a murder plot and a plan to hide in a silver mine; one is masked and the other is not. The unmasked man agrees to leave the area to avoid being blamed for a judge's death.

“Most likely, he wanted the murders to look like a local affair.” 34:07 · “I'm certain Jim will upset his plans if you're not around to accept the blame for the judge's death.” 34:11 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.
