Italics in book date indicates where date not given in appendix to court decision.
Books not listed in court decision:
• Hopalong Cassidy Serves a Writ (1941; this was adapted as the movie Hoppy
Serves a Writ, 1943)
• The Orphan (1908)
There were 66 Hopalong Cassidy films in all. This lists ends in 1939 (although the 1943 Hoppy Serves a Writ is mentioned in my supplementary notes). There are 42 subsequent films not listed here. The last Hopalong Cassidy film was released 1948. (The lawsuit was limited to 23 films which Filmvideo threatened to distribute in competition with releases of the same films authorized by the licensee. The other 43 Cassidy films were irrelevant to the verdict, thus it’s likely they’re unlisted for that reason.)
