Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense but humorous; themes: reluctance, age vs. ability, horse racing, social pressure; style notes: black-and-white, medium shot, natural outdoor lighting, three-person composition with one seated and two standing

Three people discuss a horse named Skyrark and whether Cedric or Bouncy Abner should ride it; one man claims he can ride any horse despite not having ridden in 30 years. The scene is outdoors, likely near a stable or field, with one man seated and two standing.

“I've tried everything.” 30:32 · “But if Cedric's gonna ride him, he better start working with him, so Skyrark can get used to him.” 30:48 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.
