- “Some of them are trying to stop one. We can't have to figure out who's going to what. What about those senators walking out like that? I'm telling you, smoke stack, this country is full of pieces.” 2:50 · “Oh, no, it ain't. It'll take a lot more than arguments for that to happen. And even if we do have a real shooting war, it can only end one way. Why?” 2:50

- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and conversational; themes: political division, impending conflict, national identity; style notes: medium shot, static framing, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, period costume
Two men in period Western attire stand outdoors, one holding a map, discussing political tensions and the possibility of war. The dialogue references senators and national division, suggesting a pre-Civil War setting.
“Leaving Kansas. They're sure trying hard to start a war right here.” 2:44 · “Yeah.” 2:49 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.
