A Grand Little Skit Executed With Excellence
At first watching one says "sooo---" Then seeing it again and again one gains an appreciation that this is a little gem at staging and orchestrating its scenario as simple as it is. There's a good description of the film in another viewer comment so I won't go into what it's about. Here's the problem for the filmmaker: you have more than a dozen people ranging from babes in arms to a man and his numerous wives and a porter on the train. The camera sees but one view, the aisle of the train car with the curtains of bunk berths on both sides - the object is to orchestrate everyone getting into their berths, some exiting after changing into their night shirts to chew their husband out for not satisfying the screaming children, the husband exiting and returning with a solution to the problem - all in less than two minutes. The choreography is as good as any you might see. I can imagine putting a coin in a nickelodeon machine, having a good laugh and then turning to a friend and saying "You've got to see this!" Propaganda? Of course but you have to pity the poor husband. It's exciting that Grapevine plans to release this along with Trapped By The Mormons and you will have your choice of two theater organ scores. Fun.
