Hold on to your hats. Here it comes. The most realistic depiction of what a brain on acid feels like. This wicked awesome tribute to one of the world's most overlooked entities, the polka dot, takes us on a journey to a star that we may never come back from. After the freak out look for Alice Faye, Carmen Miranda, Phil Baker, Benny Goodman, Eugene Pallette, Charlotte Greenwood, Edward Everett Horton, James Ellison and Sheila Ryan in the "Attack of the 50 Foot Polka Dots" right at the end. 1943. Directed by Busby Berkeley.

  • I'm cleaning an apartment and I noticed the computer was on standby and this video was on the screen. (I'm a professional house cleaner). We were hired by the landlords to get the apartment ready for sale as the previous tenant had some kind of spontaneous insanity episode and had to be institutionalized. He was screaming about polka dots ! He'd cry for a while, then laugh uncontrollably, then go catatonic. Weird !

  • I saw this years ago on tv and watched it, transfixed, not quite believing what I was seeing. Afterward I doubted I'd even seen it: just too honestly, unintentionally weird, the super-saturated pre-Sandoz colors.

    I now own the DVD, and still can't quite believe it's real.
