This short, nominated for an Academy Award, is not a stellar piece of work. The script is average, acting too obvious in spots and there is at least one character who irritates so glaringly that it's clear that the audience is supposed to dislike him. Still, this is somewhat interesting, given that its production values technically are first-rate. Hardly exceptional, but worth watching at least once. Turner Classic Movies runs this as filler and almost invariably airs it during their "31 Days of Oscar" every March. Not too bad.
