Two men in military-style uniforms stand in a wooded area; one speaks of taking the other to a hilltop in exchange for freeing friends and breaking a still. The dialogue references a General and a deal involving Saul and the boys.
“You want the general to win, don't you? Sure, he's my friend. Well, the general can't win unless he gets to the top of that hill.” 54:18 · “I was thinking of Saul and the boys. Look, I'll make your proposition. Take me to the top of that hill. I'll let all your friends go free.” 54:26 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.
