Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and watchful; themes: western frontier, solitude, observation; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white cinematography; alternating close-ups and wide landscape shots to establish character and setting; dramatic lighting emphasizes the figure against dark foliage

A man in a cowboy hat and dark shirt is shown in close-up, then a wide shot reveals a rocky, brush-filled landscape with figures on horseback in the distance. The man reappears in close-up, adjusting his hat with one hand while holding a bandana in the other.

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.
