Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: nostalgic and communal; themes: open range, community, home, cowboy life; style notes: black-and-white, wide shots of groups, close-ups on individuals, natural lighting for day scenes, high contrast for night scenes

A group of cowboys gathers around a campfire at night, then rides together during the day. One man speaks about the open range and home, while another notes the campfire's proximity.

“If you like a lot of room around the Roman, where any place you stop your heart's at home in, if you like to see a camper in the Gomen, there's an open range ahead.” 22:43 · “Where's that coming from? I thought we were miles from nowhere. That's the boys. There's their campfire. Let's eat!” 23:13 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.
