- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense; themes: authority conflict, ranch management, confrontation; style notes: medium shots, static framing, high-contrast black-and-white lighting typical of 1930s Westerns
Three people in Western attire stand near a wooden fence on a ranch; one woman speaks to two men about authority and an upcoming meeting with someone named Whalen. No names are spoken that can be assigned to the visible individuals.
“What's the reason for this rough stuff? You know Father won't stand for it.” 19:51 · “As long as I'm foreman of this ranch, I'll do the hiring.” 19:54 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.
