A bearded man in a hat drives an open-top car through a hilly, arid landscape while speaking about stomach pain from Johnny Cakes and a washed-out road near Wolf Creek. He dismisses concern about the road, claiming familiarity with washouts.
“I ate so many Johnny Cakes that now my stomach pains and aches. I've never had such awful breaks. I'm glad the roundup's over. We're ahead for the home for a while.” 1:33 · “Hey, Mayor, you better watch out across from Wolf Creek. The road's washed out.” 1:53 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.
