A man in a shirt and tie speaks in a tense exchange while another man is seen from behind, moving near a wall with shelves. The dialogue indicates a conflict over going into a trap and a demand to go to the cellar.
“If you're stupid enough to go die in that trap, that's your business. However, I am not stupid enough to follow you.” 47:08 · “Get the hell down in the cellar. You can be the boss down there. I'm boss up here.” 47:18 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.
