“What's this I hear about? Dusty King getting murdered. Nobody said he was murdered. It was you. And nobody said he isn't either.” 45:19 · “He went into the house to grab a prowler, and that's the last anybody seen of him. If I was a swearer on the man, I'd be aggravated enough to break loose, Cargan. Now, that wouldn't help to find Dusty. Find him? Who wants to find him?” 45:27

Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: mystery, accusation, cowboy culture; style notes: black-and-white, outdoor medium shot, natural lighting, Western costume and setting

Three men in cowboy attire are outdoors near horses; one is on horseback while two stand nearby. Dialogue references a missing man named Dusty King, with one speaker denying he was murdered and another suggesting he went into a house after a prowler.

“It's about time you're getting here.” 45:10 · “Say, what do you expect a man to wake up out of a sound sweep?” 45:12 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.
