Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and urgent; themes: accident aftermath, survival, group decision-making; style notes: medium shot, natural daylight, Western costume and props, static framing

Four men in Western attire stand outdoors near horses and a wrecked buckboard; one man speaks about the wreck and provisions while another tells him to get in the house. The scene takes place during daylight with no interior visible.

“I was beginning to think I'd have to come in after you.” 25:35 · “What happened? The horses got scared. I managed to stop them, but the buckboard's wrecked.” 25:43 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.
