Endlessly entertaining film about the many ways people communicate with each other. A great collage is at the beginning of this film… Actually a lot of great shots are in this film, which is surprising for an Encyclopedia Britannica production such as this. The best shots are of people talking to each other who stop and look at the camera. Totallysurprising fiilm and totally great. This is a must see on the site!
