This is actually a VERY entertaining film not because of the subject, but the presentation of that subject at the World's Fair! The Petroleum industry all got together and put together a pretty blah looking building that had a viewing platform (some great shots of even more buildings i've never seen before.. What was that Lucky Strike Cigarettes building?) and a restaraunt! I would have loved to see the menu for that. Outside, people got to see how an oil rig worked with live demos, and inside, you had movies and live shows about How Great Pertroleum is! Loved the actors giving it their all…
