Bathtubs Over Broadway
Bathtubs Over Broadway | 87mins |
And now for something completely goofy.
Do you remember the classic "industrial musicals?" Don't feel bad - most people don't even know they ever existed. Made to help sell industrial equipment to corporations, they were never meant to be shared. Enter Steve Young, researching weird music for a David Letterman Show segment. He found old vinyl copies of old industrial musicals with every intent of making fun of them, only to find himself falling in love with them instead.
Steve sets out to learn more about the musicals, speaking with everyone from Martin Short to Hank Beebe, the man behind "Diesel Dazzle." Charming and delightful, this doc will warm your heart on the cold winter nights. You'll never see bathtubs, copy machines, or Purina Dog Chow the same way again.
Probably not Oscar material, but with 100% on the Tomatometer, surely a candidate for Most Fun Film of the Year.
