- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: serious and transactional; themes: wartime resource scarcity, mining industry, business negotiation; style notes: medium shots and close-ups in a dimly lit interior; static camera; period costumes suggest 1940s Western genre
A group of men discuss the value of a mineral sample, noting its tungsten content is more important than its gold for wartime priorities. They agree to visit a mine the next morning while traveling to the Badlands and camping at Willow Springs.
“However, I think that Mr. Prentiss, Mr. McMahon and myself will be very glad that you did. Because while this is a very good sample of gold ore,” 19:03 · “Its real value lies in its high tungsten content.” 19:12 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.
