Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and strategic; themes: tactical planning, outnumbered protagonists, partnership under pressure; style notes: black-and-white outdoor shot with natural lighting; medium long shot framing two figures partially obscured by trees

Two characters discuss a plan to deal with a large group of adversaries while standing in a wooded outdoor area. One character, addressed as Tonto, is present as the other outlines a tactical maneuver involving circling back.

“No, there are too many of them.” 51:28 · “We'd need a whole troop of cavalry to capture them all.” 51:30 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.
