Match Your Mood (1968)

This movie is fantastic. In that late 60's battle between the perky girls and the downer of the Vietnam War, this film certainly falls on the side of the former. This film advertises a line of refrigerators that come in 5 unique finishes - aged bronze metal, futuristic black plastic, and several natural fibers. Wow - try cleaning those. To make them even "zanier" you have the ability to cover the front panels in your own fabric, which they recommend when you want you outfit to match your appliances. This is truly inspired....with 30 years between it, we seem serious now.

I wonder how this film was presented. Maybe at an industry trade show? This film is recommended! It is very funny for its music, dancing, and use of era-appropriate camera techniques.

This is one of the most surreal movies I have seen in a long while. Produced by Jam Handy for the lovely folks at the Westinghouse corporation, this narration-free movie (save for five words spoken at the very end) features happenin' hipsters and happenin' groovy fashions---all in the service of selling appliances. Everything about this movie is over the top. The opening sequence begins with moody music and a fashionably dressed (and fashionably depressed) woman wandering through the woods. It initially appears that this movie is advocating the use of antidepressants. However, the movie is in…

It's hard to decide which is better, Frigidaire Finale or this, Match Your Mood. Both are loopy dance-filled salutes to refrigerators (I'm laughing as I type this as it all sounds so stupid). This film starts out very 60's, as a nicole-kidman-something-stupid-like model wanders the forest poking at stuff with a stick, it then seagues into the new Westinghouse promotion of 'Match Your Mood'. You can choose from many different styles! ('Astro-Glo Bronze' is interesting) and best of all, you can cover your fridge with wallpaper! This probably started the fridge-wallpapering craze that continued…

Sorry, Betty Furness, you're just not with-it now. The corporate suits at Westinghouse try to tap into the '60s youth culture, but come up with a disjointed and pointless mess. This 6 1/2-minute film is one funny non-sequitur. The short starts with a woman feeding geese in a pond. Then it segues into designs that are on fake wood panels that can be attached to your Westinghouse fridge. Next we see more young people dancing (or hopping) around the fridges to KPM library music from the Spiderman cartoons of the late '60s. It's Hallowe'en then it's New Year's Eve. It's all so groovy. Well, it's…

Not a microsecond addresses the function of a fridge: keeping food cold. Aside from the opening outdoor scene and a second or two of (presumably alcoholic) beverages, nothing cold appears. Yeah, it's all hot, baby! Like all modern advertising, it's not about what the product does, but how it makes you feel. And you should be feeling groovy!
