Thank god I never saw this film prior to presenting my thesis. Those close-ups of the audience staring at the speaker are downright scary. After seeing that I'd a never got up in front of an audience. They don't get into that thing where you're supposed to imagine the people in the audience all sitting there nude. I forget what that's supposed to accomplish, but I've heard that advice somewhere. Very dry. I'm surprised Jam Handy didn't do this film, but the again, U of KS did do a number of films on this topic. Speech must've been that school's specialty back then.
