Oh god. This film is... I don't know how I can put it. Made apparently for deaf and handicapped kids, for what, I dont know and I dont care, but what I do care is that Barbara wants new shoes, she and her Mom go to the shoe store. Babs wants white, Mom wants brown. The clerk brings both. Babs still needs to make a decision! This is THE most mind exploding thing ever due to its over-simplification. Also, Babs just all-out refuses to acknowledge the poor shoe salesman. A classic of the highest order. This is a TOTAL must see on this site!
