Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and open; themes: western frontier, movement and pursuit; style notes: wide shots, high-contrast black and white, silhouetted foreground action against a bright background

A man in a cowboy hat rides a white horse along a dirt road in a rural landscape. In the final frame, a horse-drawn wagon is seen in silhouette, kicking up dust, with a distant figure standing in the background.

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.
