Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and chaotic; themes: confrontation, violence, cowboy or western-style standoff; style notes: black-and-white, medium to long shots, high contrast lighting, outdoor setting with natural elements

A man is shot at in a field while others shout warnings and commands; the shooter is described as crazy and the scene ends with an order for men not to break cover. The setting is outdoors in daylight, with at least three men involved in a confrontation.

“Long, don't come up here. Get back, Long.” 45:33 · “Lay right over there, l'hombe! Lay right over there!” 45:40 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.
