yestismabel The male voice/singer in this little film is Howard Keel, a famous movie bass-baritone in such films as "Kiss Me Kate", "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", "Kismet", "Annie Get Your Gun", "Showboat", "Calamity Jane", "Jupiter's Darling" with swimmer/actress Esther Williams (!), and many others. He also had a career on Broadway, and was an 80's TV star, becoming known to new audiences as 'Clayton Farlow' on DALLAS. Ravenscroft is a basso profundo, the deepest, darkest, fullest of the bass voices, and his sound is distinctly different from Keel's, at least to this trained singer! I recognized Keel instantly, and kept expecting to see him on screen; why waste that talent off-screen? I don't recognize the female singer.

Seamus2829 I just saw this weird assed film short recently on the Arts Channel (a free station offering short snippets of Classical & Jazz,along with film shorts,and excerpts of (some) classic films. This film short was directed by the legendary bad film director, William "one shot" Beaudine (aptly named for his penchant of using any take,no matter how good or bad it was), who directed such film classics as "The Bowery Boys Meet A Brooklyn Gorilla" & "The Ape Man". This film short reminded me of an uber surreal film I saw a few years back entitled "Dreams That Money Can Buy", about a dream agent that sets up various people with the kind of dreams one would probably experience after a midnight snack of fried clams & a chocolate malted. It would probably make for a perfect short film opening for such films as "W.R.:Mysteries Of The Organism", or even "Reefer Madness". I'm just wondering if this film short is available on DVD, or even the old school VHS format (I know that companies such as Video Wizard or Weirdo Video,that gets all sorts of whacked out film fare would probably have something like this available for mail order). A strange little item that's worth seeking out.

marcus_stokes2000 *Design For SPOILERS* Woman dreams about a Masked Man bringing her a subpoena... no, worse, an invite to the General Motors Motorama, but she has practically nothing to wear for such an occasion (besides a pair of pink pajamas), so he gets her a gown.She goes to the Motorama, clutching the invitation to her booosoms, wants to buy every car she sees (and almost rolls one) and ends up in the Kitchen of Tomorrow, where all is automatized... and able to cook a cake *with candles and decoration*.Then she dances the ridiculous-yet-prophetic 'Dance of Tomorrow', presents some cars that apparently come with an assort of women (remember, though that the pregnant woman and the Schnauzer are optional), meets again with Man and they take off in his 'Extention Of My Manhood Car' on the Highway of Tomorrow, and apparently the short ends on a sour note, as the Bridge to the Future is out...Weird, wacky and goofy, this short is like a true acid trip in sparkling Technicolor, and the only one to have been aired both on the Art Channel and on MST3K, where it has been hilariously (and deservedly) sporked, even though it's already hilarious on his own.A movie to watch for fans of David Lynch especially, and probably the only MST3K that is watchable by itself.Design For Dreaming: 8/10.

Lee Eisenberg ...was how Crow defined "Design for Dreaming" when he, Servo and Mike had to watch it. It portrays a happy-go-lucky woman living a fantasy in which a jolly man buys her any car that she wants, and a kitchen has all the appliances that a 1950s housewife could ask for. Very much a product of the 1950s.A previous reviewer called this short "I Dream of Jeannie" on LSD. I thought that it looked like the Broadway sequence in "Singin' in the Rain" on LSD. But either way, the movie is beyond pathetic, just the sort of schlock that Dr. Forrester would cruelly beam aboard the Satellite of Love to torture Mike, Servo and Crow.In conclusion, the movie itself is 0/10, but the "MST3K" is 10/10.
