Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: pursuit, capture, Western confrontation; style notes: black-and-white, outdoor wide shots with natural lighting, medium close-up on armed man

A group of men on horseback moves through a wooded area while one man holds a pistol and gives an order to shoot over the head. The scene takes place outdoors in daylight with trees and open ground visible.

“Shoot over the head. We want to take him alive if we can.” 31:43 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.
