Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and transactional; themes: debt, social obligation, Western frontier setting; style notes: medium shots and close-ups with high-contrast lighting; static camera; period Western costumes and set design

Two men enter a saloon from a street where a sign reads 'FIGHT HEADQUARTERS'. Inside, one man in a suit speaks with another in a cowboy hat near a jail cell, while a third man in a cowboy hat observes. A close-up shows a man in a cowboy hat listening intently.

“I really think you're going in a lot of trouble, Mr. Brandon. Oh, forget it, lullaby.” 20:18 · “Glad to introduce you so you can get your check cashed.” 20:23 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.
