Rockin'! I didn't know LSD was so popular in the late fifties.

This futuristic oven bakes a cake, frosts it, sticks candles in (without melting them) and lights them?!?! Hey, Frigidaire, I'm still waiting for it... Oh, and while you're at it, make me a stove that knocks the crusty bits off the surface once I am done cookin.

Strange vibe like it's hypnotizing You I've seen that vibe in some other mid century film stuff sketchy
If I'm not mistaken, this was written by the author of "The Wild Party", Joseph Mancure March.

The Wild Party was a poem written in 1928, and many books and movies have been derived from that poem. The subject matter was very radical in 1928, and I have not actually ready it. I understand that there have been some fairly recent musicals based on the original poem. They were not terribly successful. I would suspect that this video was not actually written by Joseph Mancure March, but I would love to get more input on this. I wish there was more real data for this film.

The actress is Tad Tadlock, but she does look like Carolyn Jones (best known from the Adams Family TV show).

I would swear that the roads near the end looked like a slot car track [how cheesy]

You are right. It reminds me of the Peter Pan ride at Disneyland where you fly over the city. I'd be curious to know how those miniature cars on tracks move in this film. Maybe a flattened chain maving under the road... and a pin sticking down from each car to latch onto that moving chain (like on the up hill start of an old roller coaster). Cheesy... for sure! I love it. Put it this way: Mechanical miniature cars pulled around on glittered roads with car designs of the future? Amazing!!
