Editorial Reviews

An expensively produced mixture of infomercial, science fair, and game show, this film is the perfect look at vintage marketing. Demonstrating the wonders of DuPont's latest product, Mylar, the film takes camp to the next level. A super strong transparent polyester film, Mylar is resistant to temperature changes, stress, acid, and more. Its durability is apparent, because this film documents many dramatic (and hilarious) "tests" being performed on this new material. Narrated and hosted by a scientist and his cute female assistants, the film shows Mylar being used as a trampoline, being boiled in acid, catching a bowling ball, and trapping odors by enclosing a live skunk! Bizarre and fun to say the least, this film excels with all the charm, creativity, and general wackiness that simply can't be found in promotional videos today.

This review is from: Amazing Mylar Plastic Marketing Movie: What's it to You? DVD (1955) (DVD)

It's hard to rate a product that I have never received. I ordered this over a month ago. I tried tracking it through the Amazon website but get a message telling me "no tracking information available". I received a confirmation from Amazon on Nov 9th letting me know my Visa had been charged, but have yet to receive the video. Doubt I will order from this seller again.
