Plus Do-It-Yourself Panels!

Warning: Spoilers
I guess there was no better way for the modern housewife of the Sixties to convey how hip and fashionable they were than to apply matching do-it-yourself panels to everyone's favorite Westinghouse refrigerator. This short offers a hilarious look at what a major advertising brand of the era considered the latest in current day apparel, hobby and party fashion. Opening with a dreamy walk through the woods sequence in which a young woman communes with nature, the picture wastes no time in introducing the latest in deco-decadence - in glorious rattan, Catawba cherry, astro-glo bronze and surftex black. I would never have believed young married adults (my own parents would have fit this profile) could ever have had such serious unbridled fun as those shown dancing their way through this effort. Today it all looks rather embarrassing, but who's to say some folks weren't moved by this stuff back in the day. The closing credits state it's 'A Jam Handy Picture' - of this I have no doubt.
