Brittany Shaw Lenses and Filters

This is what the seller says about the item:

"You are looking at a vintage Minolta XG-M 35mm SLR camera that comes with a 50mm camera lens.Here is the story behind this camera . This was in a box that I bought at an auction. Its looks in great condition .There is no film in it...& I dont know if it needs film in it to make the lever work , that forwards the film...But I dont hear it click. There are no scratches on the lens that I can see. . I am dumber than a fence post when it comes to cameras & photography..The case & strap are in excellent condition. As you can see , the Lens Cap is here also. SO... you get what you are looking at . It may need a cleaning, but I dont know how to that either . The inside is clean . Well...thats all I can tell you .It looks in VG condition ."

The item is listed under "used" and not "for parts or not working," but he/she doesn't seem to know if it works or not.

Do you think this camera would actually function?
