Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conspiratorial; themes: power struggle, murder, corruption, Western frontier; style notes: medium shots outdoors, natural lighting, period Western costumes

Two men stand outdoors with a horse while a third man, injured and wearing a sling, speaks about taking over the town of Colby after murdering others. The dialogue reveals a plot to seize control of local positions.

“Doc, take it easy.” 41:55 · “Why should I be? I'm getting rid of him just like I did everybody else of importance in Colby.” 42:12 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.
