The internal dialog of Johnny's girl, in her fashionable clothing, makeup, jewlery... as she disrespects the plain girl walking by on the sidewalk in the first 2 minutes of this film is worth the download and pegs my rating at five stars! The superficial attitude and missing sense of self worth is like nothing I've seen, but is clearly an attempt by the company whose advertisment this is to turn girls into self-doubting, image oriented, subhuman consumers of fashion products.
Turns into a fairly ordinary advertising for fabric patterns after that. The color is pretty good (despite some bouncing auto color balance circuits in the transfer from film).
