If you watch this as a very disjointed narrative (a la Edward Gorey) it is very enjoyable, especially for the uninitiated such as myself. There are scenes that were evidently included in an attempt to pad the running time that are riveting nonetheless. Fade in: A little boy sits alone at a large table with a cake before him. Three adults stand around him in the candelabra-lit room, singing "Happy Birthday." The boy thanks them, and they quietly take their seats. Fade out. There's even a great surf music dance sequence (set in a wharf dive) that's so out of place it's even the only clip in black and white! The only drawback is its brief running time (about 28 minutes), but it's still an entertaining and even provocative view.
