This MGM comedic short with humorist
Robert Benchley is all about how to make home movies. He gathers a group of friends in his living room after dinner and shows them his films from their most recent family holiday. He talks about how he took the shots, the type of lens he used and why certain shots turned out the way they did. Of course the film is terrible with shots out of focus, film running in reverse, shots taken so far from the subject so as to make their purpose invisible. When the film is over, there is only one person left in the living room and he is sound asleep!
