The 20th Century Fox ident fades in at the start and stays for almost 9 seconds before fading out. After a couple seconds of silence this is followed by incidental music coming in and titles appearing. By 0:26 an image of a person standing with a shadow of the cross is in the background on the left. The whole opening scene consists of the incidental music continuing, the titles playing and the image of the person still there.
