Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: confrontation, coercion, Western genre; style notes: medium shot, high-contrast lighting, static framing, period Western costume

A man in a suit is confronted by two men in cowboy hats inside a room with a 'PRIVATE' sign on the door; one cowboy holds a revolver. The transcript indicates they are forcing him to walk out to a bank to disperse a mob.

“Oh, behave yourself, Mr. Barrington. We don't want to mush you up.” 50:16 · “What's all this about? Where did you start at this battle?” 50:20 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.
