00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.760
if he could see anything, replied, yes, wonderful things. He

31
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.280
had spent nearly seven years searching the Valley of the

00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.879
professional regret. After the film became a classic, the movie

40
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.800
