★★★★ · Nothing about the remote control you lost in the sofa. · Spuzz · 2014-06-17
Film which explores "remote control" as defined in 1941, and certainly not what it means today. You see , puppeteers? Those are remote controllers! Same with stagehands changing scenery! And you're also remote controlling when changing gears on your Chevrolet! Stuff like that. Very well connected movie.
★★★★ · Short and to the point · ERD. · 2012-10-01
Explaning about remote control, this 1941 vintage short film is entertaining.
