Genre: Short
Duration: 10 min
Rating: 2.2

The riffing on the MST3K version of this is great. Standing alone, this short is mildly interesting. Filmed by the famous Jam Handy studios in Detroit, MI. Jam Handy at one point was said to use more film than Hollywood, solely on industrial films such as this one.

I personally knew some old stagehands that used to work for Jam Handy. Their stories about the endless display of products and clients was truly mind-boggling. One got a new fridge from a shoot because the client didn't want to haul it back. Search the Internet Archive for "Jam Handy" and you'll find a treasure trove of these industrial films, a real slice of the past.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
