- Review
-
Meandering film, made for fabric makers telling of the many MANY new technoligical advancements made in the Textile industry. Spread out into 4 long chapters, the narrator just glows about tension, warp, looms and the ilk. It feels unfair to downgrade the movie just because I didn't give a hoot about any new advancements, but honestly, if textile machinery isn't your bag, then I would seriously reccomend that OTHER textile film, Greater Goal: Human Dividends from American Industry.
