Viewing Notes
Many of Jim Henson’s early work has been added to Fandor so I will definitely check out them out. This one may be Henson’s most provocative work as it features a stripper. Henson is the star here as he jumps through time in a blink that this was probably an influence on Wizard of Space and Time.
