Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: confrontation, western standoff, outdoor vs indoor tension; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, high contrast lighting, outdoor dust and indoor shadows create dramatic effect

Two men in cowboy hats are seen outdoors in a dusty environment, one crouching and the other standing near a horse; later, men are seen through glass doors and an older man holds a rifle indoors. A voice says 'Come on' and 'Shoot over their heads' during this sequence.

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.
