I can't imagine watching a movie without any sounds besides the background music. This goes back to the "Old Time Radio Shows" blog; growing up with color televisions and movies with words it is a very different experience to watch an older movie like this one. I was really surprised by the bursts of color that were added to the movie which made it a little more enjoyable. Although the music didn't always seem to go with the design it was still an interesting plot. The acting was a bit questionable at that, especially when someone was shot; they had very different reactions than what you would think would be typical of a person getting shot, but instead they throw their hands up in the hair and twirl around. There were quite a few spots that I laughed at, not sure if they were truly meant to be somewhat comical or not though.
Personally I am more a fan of the old radio shows as opposed to this, but back then I'm sure there was quite a fascination when these short films first came about. If it would have been too much longer I probably wouldn't have finished watching it because it was hard to keep focused on the film at times, almost like the boring films you have to watch in class sometimes about subjects you really don't care to learn about all that much.
