FILM, FILM, FILM makes fun of the many problems facing getting a film from inception to a critical success. It all starts with a struggling writer and slowly you see the project take shape. Agents, child actors, re-writes, and premiers are all lampooned here and it really makes you feel sorry for the writers, directors and actors! The style of cartooning used in this short film is very much indicative of the 1960s--with often minimalist backgrounds, simple drawings and a frenetic pace. (imdb User Comments)

This is the story of an average Joe kind of guy, Vasiley Vaslievitch, a 47-year-old accountant, who suddenly leaps into a courtyard and conks to women over the head who were having a conversation. It doesn't say if he killed them, but they are at least knocked out. Suddenly, hundreds of people surround him, the cops come and the clock is set back 24 hours to "investigate" who this man is and why he would do such a thing. (imdb User Comments)

In a nutshell, this 1966 Russian film makes a statement about bureaucrats. It actually makes fun of them which was not an easy thing to do in Russia during this time. Director Fyodor Khitruk had guts to make this. The story is told through a man who seen in a picture frame. There are about a half-dozen "chapters" about life in the business world, or in the office of a big business and we see how this man reacts to different situations. (imdb User Comments)

The film is about an ox (or bull) that is left for dead by its owner. However, the ox recovers and lives at peace in the African savanna.
