Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: somber, desolate; themes: survival, loss, isolation; style notes: black-and-white, wide shots of landscape and bodies, static camera, high contrast lighting

A lone figure moves across rocky ground toward a spring in a cave after an ambush; multiple bodies lie on the ground. The transcript states that only one of six Texas Rangers survives.

“Many hours after the Cavendish gang has left the ambush scene,” 12:00 · “A lone figure moves painfully over the rock-strewn ground.” 12:03 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.
