Viewing Notes
This classic was running in a loop at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens when I was there for Dial M for Marriage (Dor & Josh’s wedding). Great to sit and watch this in that environment. Given the year it was made this is a very good short film. I probably watched this during my Film Appreciation class in college.
