If you are a fan of the original Mothers of Invention this film is a must see. Frank Zappa takes us back to the early days of the Mothers using personal archive footage of himself and the band on the road. This film is a prequel to Zappa's Masterpiece 200 Motels. Highlights of this movie are a Home movie montage of Electric Aunt Jemima and a live performance of Frank and the Mothers at the Royal Albert Hall in London England plus the fun side of being on the road and of course Don Preston as the Monster. I wish the Zappa Family Trust would release this Movie on a DVD because this Film is a must for any Mothers of Invention Fan....Mary Peterpuffer March 16 2008.

The Spirit of Christmas
(1950 TV Movie)
A MasterClassic
1 December 2004
One of the Greatest all time films of Christmas. this immortal classic is a story which is in two parts. The First is - The Night Before Christmas and the second is - The Nativity. both stories are beautifully recited and are staged with a musical background in classic and traditional style. The Marionettes are created for this 1950's TV Christmas classic probably represented the cuttingedge of creativity in puppeteering.These classic Christmas tales will be enjoyed by young and old alike. A Christmas must see. this puppteering may have provied inspiration for future successes like Howdy Doody, Kukla Fran & ollie, and much later, the Jim Henson family of characters. You and your family will rediscover the warmth and charm of these classic.
