I always thought that the Ken Annakin film The Hellions (1961) - South Africa's first Western - was, judging by the release date, in the public domain. I got an email from Sony Entertainment this morning saying that it isn't in fact available to all.

Oh well, you live and learn.

According to IMDB trivia it was South Africa's first western.

I put that info there 

Interesting: this film's cinematographer, Ted Moore BSC, was the first South African Oscar winner a few years later.

That is awesome.

I think the whole reason why the story is on public domain because most of the information was lost/forgotten... I think it's save to believe the story was the first South African Western.

sadly I don't see the movie listed here:

At least they didn't miss Space Mutiny in their list of films.

My list runs from 1910 to the present day: that list needs a bit of updating.
