A man in a cowboy hat is seen behind a wooden barrier and then inside a saloon with other men. A saddlebag is shown in close-up, and two men sit at a table with cards and drinks. One man says he is going to leave, and another orders him to keep his hands visible and open the saddlebags.

“I'm going to go.” 47:13 · “Keep your hands where I can see them and open up those saddlebags.” 47:28 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.
