| Description: | 'The Man with the SCYTHE!' Eisenwurzen, Austria. General view of the town of Eisenwurzen on the River Enns (Styrian Alps). We then see various shots of men making scythes in a factory. Entire process is shown, with the white hot iron being shaped on machinery and cut into blades and ground. A man wheels a barrow of scythes about. The blades are lacquered and wrapped in paper then packed to be sent off. A cart drawn by two horses takes a full load of boxes away from the factory. | |
