- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: formal and tense; themes: justice, authority, confrontation; style notes: static medium shots in courtroom, wide outdoor shot with natural lighting; period costumes and props establish 19th-century American West setting
A courtroom scene concludes with a judge ordering the incarceration of chiefs until cavalry escort is available; the scene cuts to an outdoor setting where the same judge and others are present near a building with a U.S. flag. A man calls out 'Oh, McClintock!' as the group stands outside.
“It is the order of this court that these chiefs be incarcerated until such time as the detachment of United States Cavalry be made available...” 95:42 · “to escort them and the Comanche Nation to Fort Sill.” 95:52 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.
