"The first scene takes place in a photographer's studio in a police station. Two policemen struggle to get a woman seated on a stool in front of a photographer's sign. The camera moves toward the seated woman. She obviously does not wish to be photographed for she grimaces and contorts her face while the camera moves slowly toward her."
