The film starts with a brief reprise of the previous film , before cutting to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios in Culver City , California where assistant cameraman Bill Reilly picks up the film from the lab for '' Marie Antoinette '' ( 1938 ) which he passes on to cameraman William H. Daniels . Behind the scenes footage shows W.S. Van Dyke directing a scene between Norma Shearer and Robert Morley before the negative is taken to the lab to be developed , dried and polished by lab technician John M. Nickolaus .
