To answer the first two reviewers, of course, this is ab AB roll, two reels of film. Usually one has a soundtrack present. Anyways, this reel doesn't have a lot going for it, plenty of the blackness. The film we do see looks to be of a TV salesman making housecalls (!!) and selling Mr. and Mrs Public about the great Raytheon TVs they got going now. In between the blackness, we see tv tube testing, charts, and great shots of the family (the daughter looks like the gal in Young Man's Fancy) and that smarmy looking salesman, cheeky grin and all.
