Description
Oddball Films and Guest Curator Soumyaa Kapil Behrens present One In A Million, an evening of retro films that look at money and all it could do. An oft-used plot line, greed, money, promises of gold and a better life have inspired many cinematic ventures. This group of films looks at traditional ways of spending, glamorizing and literally making money. Classic shorts like Trader Vic’s Used Cars (1976) show us the fast paced life inside the world of Victor Snyder, a Southern California car salesman peddling the American dream. Million Dollar Bowling (1950’s) is a creepy and hilarious look at competitive reality game shows as two couples compete for a one million dollar cash prize. Other gems include the opening sequence from $ (1971) starring Goldie Hawn and Warren Beatty and animated shorts like Buyer Be Wise (1982) starring our favorite D*sney characters and wise old Japanese folklore with Tara the Stonecutter (1955). Take a closer look at the man on the face of the penny with Face of Lincoln (1955) and enjoy the tactile vibe of cash with Money, Money, Money (1970’s). Finally, The Money Tree Pt.2 (1983) gives us the perfect dose of campy education as a young middle class couple uses credit to get in more debt than they can manage.More Info
