Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and humorous; themes: western, daily routine, authority and obedience; style notes: wide shots of outdoor setting, natural lighting, period costumes, static camera framing

A man in a hat and vest stands on a porch with another man holding a coat; a weather vane with a bull is shown; then a group of men, including one on horseback, are seen in a dusty yard with mountains in the background. A man in a hat speaks to another, who responds, while one man warns against commenting on the weather.

“Howdy, Drago. Morning, Curly.” 2:39 · “Makes seven times this month he come home, Swaggles. Six. Seven? Six. Once was his birthday. That don't count. Give me my bucket. Didn't have anything for breakfast but two raw eggs and a mug of honey. No.” 2:41 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.
