Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: confrontation, public spectacle, Western genre; style notes: wide shot, natural outdoor lighting, period Western costumes, crowd framing suggests public spectacle

A man in a red shirt and hat sits on a horse while speaking to a crowd; a woman in a green dress stands nearby. The transcript includes lines about not sparing the horse and not getting rid of someone easily.

“Don't spare the horse. Oh, you hurt me. Don't think you're going to get rid of me that easy.” 125:48 · “Yeah.” 125:53 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.
