Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and urgent; themes: duty vs. urgency, rumor and fear, cowboy camaraderie; style notes: black-and-white, medium two-shot, high-contrast lighting typical of 1940s Westerns

Two men in cowboy hats talk near a saddled horse at night; one insists he must stay to hold the horse while the other urges him to leave to find someone named Dusty. The dialogue reveals a rumor that Dusty was killed and that he went to a house after a lamp was turned down.

“What's ailing you? You ain't no ghost, are you? No, where'd you get that notion?” 42:24 · “What are you doing up here this time of the night anyway? Well, I promised Dusty I'd stay out here and hold the horse till he come back.” 42:35 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.
