"Young Man's Fancy" is, essentially, a half hour commercial by the Edison Electric Institute...an association that represents the American electric companies. Because of this, it's not at all surprising that it comes off as a bit hokey AND preachy about the joys of modern electrical appliances. And, I can only assume audience members who were in theaters when it was shown used that time for a bathroom or snackbar break!
Judy is a man-hungry teen who is helping her mother with the housework at the start of the film. Soon, they get word that Judy's brother is bringing home a friend...and Judy assumes he's some drip. But when Alex turns out to be dreamy, Judy falls all over herself trying to impress the guy. As for mom, she periodically appears to spout salesroom jargon about the joys of modern electricity...and none of it sounds the least bit realistic. For example, at one point she says "...no trouble...everything is easier with an electric range"! No human being (apart from a salesman) would talk like that....and repeatedly she talks about how swell life is now that they have electric water heaters, refrigerators and the like (there is no mention, however, of marital aids...which would have made the film MUCH more interesting).
It's hard to rate this one, as it's not intended to be entertaining...and it certainly isn't! Instead, it's just an ad...and an unintentionally funny one. Most of this is the writing...and the pap they have mother and Judy spout (mom, talking like a salesperson and Judy using every possible 1950s jargon a teen could have uttered). Worth seeing for the curious....but also pretty dumb.
