| Description: | MAN SCAVENGER AND ALARM CLOCK An old road sweeper has a clock tied to his back so passers-by can check the time. Part of the PLAY-TIMING issue. Several shots of a 'scavenging man' - road sweeper - collecting up rubbish in a street, with a clock tied to his back. This 'good deed' shows people walking by what time it is. Children stop to look at the clock. A young girl asks the old man the time and he points his thumb behind him. | |
