A woman stands in a dimly lit room holding a tray, then moves toward a fireplace where another figure lies on the floor. The scene is shot in black and white with high-contrast lighting.

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.
