Two men on horseback discuss blowing up a hill to redirect water to their ranch. They agree on the plan and list the needed materials: drills, dynamite, wire cable, and a detonator.
“That's it. Part of Dad's ranch. Now behind that hill is Mr. Whalen's water basin. All nicely kept in place by the Bannybill.” 47:49 · “Well, if we didn't like the hill, there wouldn't be any crime in that wood there.” 48:05 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.
