Review
A great flick to watch if you have any connections with the television. The shots from the director's booth are absolutely wonderful, and it's moving in a weird way to hear the announcer say: "Here's one of the very first images received by the television. Compare that crude image with that of today's!" as we see blurry Felix the Cat change into a beautiful blonde... Yes, they thought they had come of age.
