A woman and a man are inside a dimly lit room; the woman sits while the man crouches near a doorway. Dialogue suggests they are considering leaving soon, with a reference to the time being 10 minutes to 3 and a question about nearby towns.

“We can leave.” 75:30 · “Well, we'd better leave soon.” 75:33 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.
