When you grow old.

Aiming today to watch an hour of 1970's short films,I reached 42 minutes from viewing all the shorts by Walerian Borowczyk (all also reviewed!)and looked for one or two non- "Boro's to wrap it up. The very first to pop up when searching for shorts from the decade,I got set to grow up.

View on the film:

Working with jaunty Pop tracks, the un- credited narrator stays on the edge of the dead-pan sarcasm narration featured in Disney "educational" shorts, but sadly pulls back from any sense of fun,to instead keep dryly talking about how everyone has got to work.

Washing his first of only two directing credits in cloying Clementine, director Jerry Kurtz & future cinematographer on Slasher flick Graduation Day Daniel Yarussi gloss over any chance to gain a feeling of the workplace with sickly sweet dissolves flickering over what awaits when you grow up.
