Featured review
An average cartoon using an old device or two to satirize modern life
This cartoon, which has some funny moments, but isn't really terribly novel, uses an old gag about finding an old reel of film that it purports shows "life as it was", way back whenever. The narrator is a spoof on Dave Garroway, a television personality back in the 1950s and 1960s. If memory serves, he was one of the first, if not the first, to host the "Today" show. What follows are a number of gags (lots of sight gags) and a very loose plot, the kind of thing Tex Avery did to better effect twenty years and more earlier. The ending is telegraphed rather obviously. Okay, but nothing special.
