- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and urgent; themes: conflict resolution, desperation, group deliberation; style notes: medium shots, static framing, high-contrast lighting typical of 1930s Westerns
Two men stand in a rustic interior, one holding a chair; later, four people sit in a circle in the same room, discussing a conflict with miners and guards. No names are spoken, and no time of day or period is established.
“Hello, boy. Come on over and sit down.” 40:57 · “I knew we'd have to come to it.” 41:00 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.
