[edit]

Right now I am working on expanding this article by providing the names[1] of some individuals who were involved in the film's creation. This includes the music composer (Roger White) and editor (Pudovkin) which will both be added to the sidebar and actor/director Boris Barnet, who appeared in the film.

I am expanding on the sparse plot in this Wiki page. One of the sources I am using is the short film[2] itself, available on Youtube. Sushedley (talk) 06:15, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
