Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: authority, confrontation, migration; style notes: wide outdoor shots, natural daylight, Western costume detail, group composition

A group of men in period Western attire are shown in conversation near a train, followed by a wider shot of a crowd being led along a dusty road by a uniformed officer. The transcript includes a character asserting authority over others' actions, followed by interruptions.

“Oh, well...” 62:53 · “Your people will have to follow my instructions to the letter. It is the law of the le...” 62:56 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.
