This short was nominated for the Academy Award for Live Action Short, losing to Casals Conducts: 1964. There will be mild spoilers:
This is, hands down, the strangest non-animated short I've ever seen! When the most "normal" thing you see in the short is a man opening a door to see a cigar store Indian, you know Toto's not in Kansas any more.
There's one actor and one actress is credited. I suppose one could accurately say that the man does a great many "normal" things in this short, they simply happen in abnormal ways or have unusual repercussions. The best advice I can give for anyone who might watch this film is, don't expect anything! This is, in many ways, like a Tex Avery cartoon done in live action and turned inside out and on its ear.
There's a scene between the actor and actress which would have been rather risqué in 1965, but which is quite tame today, though like everything else in this short, is quite bizarre.
This short can be found online and must be seen to be believed. Recommended.
