Overview

Nerdy Walter Paisley, a maladroit busboy at a beatnik cafĂ© who doesn’t fit in with the cool scene around him, attempts to woo his beautiful co-worker, Carla, by making a bust of her. When his klutziness results in the death of his landlady’s cat, he panics and hides its body under a layer of plaster. But when Carla and her friends enthuse over the resulting artwork, Walter decides to create some bigger and more elaborate pieces using the same artistic process.

Viewing Notes

Perennial bit player Dick Miller gets a starring role and does a fine job.  I like how it pokes fun at beatniks and the pretentiousness of the art world.
