Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and determined; themes: survival, resilience, cowboy ingenuity; style notes: black-and-white, medium close-ups, high-contrast lighting emphasizing ropes and facial expressions

Two men in cowboy attire are tied up with ropes and discuss their predicament, deciding to attempt to crawl to a distant spring. One man references 'Sidewinder' as an example of someone who succeeded under similar conditions.

“I don't know, but we can't do anything about it until we get rid of these ropes.” 25:15 · “Now I know how a horse feels when you take up on the cinch.” 25:20 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.
