A man and a woman are in a room; the man speaks and moves toward a doorway while the woman remains seated. Another man appears and interacts with the first man near a staircase.

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.
