Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense or uncertain; themes: movement, rural setting, unspoken tension; style notes: black-and-white, wide shots of landscape, medium shots of riders, natural lighting, dust effects suggest motion

Two men on horseback ride along a dirt road in a rural landscape; one man reaches toward the other as they ride. The scene ends with a shot of the empty road after they have passed, kicking up dust.

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.
