A man and a woman are seated indoors, speaking to each other. The man is crouched and looking down; the woman is seated and looking forward. Their dialogue suggests they are discussing being late and whether one is afraid.

“Eh?” 28:34 · “And he said, "Oh, it's late."” 28:36 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

Public domain through a copyright notice omitted on release in 1968, a rule this registry does not yet apply; the finding is the film's own documented history, not a catalog check. 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.
