I am very happy to have a 16mm print of this. In an envelope Jittlov doodled all over. :-)

I think I first saw this...

...at a convention in the early 80s, though I remember it as being in film class. Except I took college classes in film in 1976...? Maybe he really was a Wizard!

But yeah, I had sort of recognized your inspiration in your stories. :)

Hugs,

I saw this...

Daphne Xu's picture

... a *long* time ago. A few years later, I saw the movie about the making of this short. A film critic called it wholly self-referential -- a movie about making the movie.

The movie upgraded the banana peel, sending him to a space shuttle instead of a 747.

It took me a moment to realize what you were talking about. Erin's comment about him being a wizard raised my ... something. And then I recognized the name Jittlov.
