Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: confrontation, theft, mystery note; style notes: medium shot, outdoor lighting, static framing, period Western costumes

A group of men on horseback confronts another man, demanding money and preparing to search him. One man holds a note, prompting a comment about its hidden nature.

“All right, hand over that money.” 31:32 · “Quit monkeyin'. Ten thousand dollars we want. Ten? Ten? Did you say ten thousand dollars? You heard what I said. Gosh, you're all hemlock stranger. If you put together all the money I ever dreamed of, it wouldn't make half that much. All right, you fellas. Drag him off that horse and search him.” 31:35 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.
