This is a neat little film., 16 November 2001
Author: suavhobbit from Portland Oregon

This is a neat little film that I believe won the Academy Award for best live action short film in 1965. It is a crazy piece about the effect that time keeping have on us all. There is a lot of stop action and editing. Don't miss the dancing naked chicken!
