Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: conversational and slightly anxious; themes: rural life, mail delivery, concern for a third party; style notes: black-and-white, medium close-ups, natural outdoor lighting, rural setting with bare trees

Two men in cowboy hats talk beside a vehicle in a rural setting; one is identified as Gabby in the dialogue. They discuss delivering mail to Carol Stevens and mention being out day and night rounding up strays.

“I reckon Gabby's doing as well as any mare can, Pat.” 2:59 · “So are we. We've been out day and night, rounding up strays.” 3:02 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.
