    <reviewbody>Although I would think that binge drinking once a month (to the point of passing out at the bar) IS the behavior of a "lush," I realize that times change.  Fun spoof of the travails of commercial film production.  Good spoof of client behavior too--I'm going to keep this one handy.  I give it 3 widgets.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>For the very few of us who messed with industrial film in the 1960s, for the shorter list of those who used Calvin Productions' lab services, this is a straight line trip back to much younger days.

I never knew of these films then - that Calvin could laugh at itself is not really unexpected, even given the times where you just didn't spoof your own company.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>Another amusing Calvin picture, dealing with a poor film executive dealing with business executives about what kind of film they want to make. I liked how everyone in the business was a yes man to everyone else. The business people were always sucking up to the person higher in power, "That's what I was thinking!" making the film exec even more confused. Many EB voices also are shown to have faces in this film as well.</reviewbody>
    <reviewtitle>Will the circle be unbroken?</reviewtitle>
