Two men in a private office discuss a boy who has gone to Rogers Ranch seeking a job; one man intends to retrieve him, but the other persuades him to let the boy stay, suggesting the boy may aid a horse trading deal. The scene is set indoors with period Western attire and office furnishings visible.
“That kid of yours is up to Rogers Ranch, asking for a job.” 21:26 · “I'll go up and get him and give him a tan and he'll never forget.” 21:32 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.
