Description
Photograph of a film being made in a studio, ca.1940. To the right of center, a man wearing a trench coat leans forward as he imitates the actions of a person in a snow storm. The ground around the man is covered in thick white snow while a short bridge lays over a frozen lake in front of him. In the foreground, powdery snow covers the land while a frozen body of water sits to the right. Behind the man stands a small house perfectly blanketed with snow. In the background, the interior walls of what appears to be a sound stage are visible.
