Once Upon a Honeymoon (1956)
What was THAT all about?
Included in MST3K's Shorts Vol. 3, this short was produced for Bell Telephone to show how the telephone can help out in everyday situations, or something - it's really hard to tell what the film's message was supposed to be. A young couple is ready to leave on a (postponed one year already) honeymoon, but they can't until the husband re-writes the "dreaming" song for copper-bottomed ballerina diva Sonia. Thanks to inspiration from the rotary dial of the telephone the husband, after smoking what appears to be three packs of cigarettes, is able to finish the song and the young couple is finally able to leave on their honeymoon. The telephone had so little to do with the story that Tom Servo's comment at the end of the film pretty-much sums it up for me: "What the hell was that all about?"
