Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: conflict, justice, western; style notes: close-up framing, high-contrast lighting, black-and-white film stock

Two men in cowboy hats speak indoors; one speaks of preventing fraud against 'Prince Society'. The second man is seen only from the side and back.

“The bet ain't got nothing to do with it. I'm just trying to make sure that Prince Society ain't the victim of a colossal fraud and a gigantic injustice.” 16:17 · “It.” 16:27 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.
