Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: feud, confrontation, street-level drama; style notes: medium shots, static framing, high-contrast black-and-white lighting typical of 1940s studio films

A man and a woman stand near a produce stand in front of a brick wall; the man gestures toward the stand while speaking. The transcript includes dialogue about a feud between the McCorkles and the Haskells and an altercation involving kicking and shouting.

“- No movements, the rough you-- - Now go back to your kennel and tell old man Haskell what you've heard. Go on now! Hey! Hey, what's going on here? You've heard about the feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys, haven't you? Yeah.” 14:21 · “Well, this is the one between the McCorkles and the Haskells.” 14:36 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.
