A person is visible in a dimly lit interior room, standing near a table with a plate. 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.
