Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: confrontation, power reversal, western justice; style notes: low-key lighting, high contrast, medium and wide shots emphasizing group dynamics

A group of men in cowboy hats are confronted and disarmed at night; one man is ordered to be tied up while others are told to move out. The scene ends with a man taunting Rogers about knowing how to use ropes.

“Take their guns, Bale.” 24:10 · “Well, it's gonna cost you about 50 grand per snoop.” 24:16 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.
