Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: comically confused; themes: misunderstanding, absurdity, rural setting; style notes: medium shots, high-contrast black-and-white lighting, static camera framing characters in conversation

Two men and a boy stand in a wooden stable with a horse; one man in a suit speaks to another man in overalls while the boy listens. The transcript reveals dialogue about the horse’s presence, confusion over its identity, and a character named Cedric Weehan addressing Mr. Loeb.

“Sounded like a whore.” 8:25 · “All right, Granny, if that ain't a horse, what is it?” 8:42 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.
