Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: Western frontier, outlaw escape, group strategy; style notes: black-and-white, wide shots of outdoor town setting, medium close-up on riders, high-contrast lighting

Two riders on horseback approach a dusty town street lined with wooden buildings, including one labeled 'MINING SUPPLIES'. A group of four men on horseback, including one holding a rifle, are shown in a close-up, with one man speaking about slipping into town the back way.

“Suicide to try and reach the bank with that battle going on. You stay here, Sabine, and we'll try and slip into town the back way.” 49:19 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.
