Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: suspicious and tense; themes: suspicion, deception, surveillance; style notes: static medium shot, high-contrast lighting, period costume, rustic set design

Two men discuss a suspicious trail while a third man, who claims to have come from the kitchen, offers lemonade; one man is suddenly struck, indicated by a thud sound. The setting is an interior room with rustic decor and a mounted animal head.

“Fooled? But how? He's not coming directly here. He's going to take that old abandoned trail through Coyote Gulch.” 22:55 · “I still don't like it. Besides dusting myself nobody knows anything about that old abandoned trail.” 23:01 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.
