After a rousing beginning, with a "____ is connected to the _____ " song variation, the film then gets down to business, and tells us how each and every beautiful RCA television is designed and built. A little more then a follow the assembly line film, what I found hilarious about this film was RCA's insistence of hiring EVERY LIVING NERD POSSIBLE. I mean, counting all the bow ties, glasses and ducktails forever. Other then that, as I said, it's the power of the assembly line (oh and test after quality test). Great color too.
