Three people in cowboy attire discuss water rights outdoors, mentioning a character named Waylon and a legal dispute over water drainage. No names are assigned to the visible individuals because none are spoken in the transcript lines that refer to them.
“The water doesn't even drain back into our valley.” 14:31 · “It runs off on the other side of the hills.” 14:33 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.
