- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and darkly comedic; themes: heroism as performance, manipulation, absurd danger; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, static framing, high-contrast lighting emphasizing the tracks and characters
Two men stand near railroad tracks while a third man is tied to them; one of the standing men plans to untie the tied man as a train approaches to create a heroic moment. The tied man pleads for help as the plan unfolds.
“Hurry up, Cedric. Well, now, you've been promising to help me make a hero out of myself if I'd let you keep that horse.” 33:12 · “Well, we're going to tie you across the railroad track here.” 33:39 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.
