| Description: | ON PREVIEW CASSETTE #991537R Want to learn how to install your new washer and dryer? This film will help you (if you have a 1970 model). The bizarre aspect of this film is its metaphoric approach: installation as football game, complete with color commentary. That's right, football and all its entendres are somehow filtered into the world of washer/dryers. The following are but a few of the shots involved. 0' to 100'..........tight LS of a suburban home, light snow on ground... LS of basement, pan R... CU of ceiling lightbulb (on)...
