★★★ · Merry Oldsmobile · Dodsworth the Cat · 2020-10-29
There's a light bit of satire in this as Johnny watches a TV set with a well-fed older Martian lamenting that Earth people will bring their bad habits to Mars ("Income tax!"). Johnny thinks what he sees on the screen is a live transmission from Mars and that follows its way through a lacklustre tour of an engine plant and a ridiculous ending. The hoary old "In My Merry Oldsmobile" is sung at the start (it sounds like more singers than two) and heard at the end as we get a shot of a 1950 Olds 98 DeLuxe.

Fun movie that shows us how the new oldsmobile rocket engine is built. The tour consists of (I guess) a radio duo.. Oh, looking them up now, they starred in one of the first tv sitcoms! Anyways, they're joined by a shifty fellow. The guy thinks that guy is an alien! So he's follwing him around, making sure he doesn't do anything untoward. This plot is weirdly similar to another film on this site, "The Middletons at the World's Fair". Anyways, sort of cute, the ending is sort of wasted though.
