Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: somber; themes: loss, survival, duty; style notes: medium close-ups on characters, wide shot of graves, static camera, high-contrast black and white

Two men speak in a rocky canyon; one recounts the death of his fellow Rangers and his brother, while the other explains he found him after burying the others. A grave site with wooden crosses and a pile of personal effects including a hat and revolver are shown.

“The other rangers, Tonto...” 16:31 · “Captain Reed was my brother.” 16:37 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.
