Two men argue in a room about whether the cellar is safe from attackers; a third man is shown near stairs, concerned about children. The transcript mentions boarded-up areas and a car being overturned.
“Now I suggest we all go back downstairs before any of those things find out we're in here. We can't get in yet.” 41:49 · “You got the whole place boarded up? Yeah, most of it. I'll be the three spots up there. They won't be hard to fix.” 41:54 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.
