Description: A surrealist satire on avant-garde films in which a man in a Homburg hat on a dock endeavors to maintain his dignity while operating a typewriter in a bathtub full of water., A man sits in a bathtub on a pier at the Hudson River with a background of the New York skyline. He is typing underwater. The fact that the words go literally down the drain may mean something special to some people. The happy filmmaker refuses to comment. This, despite the torrent of symbolic interpretation enthusiastically offered for all the crazy happenings in this film. Creator and film announce open season for all who wish to dig for symbols or rationalize the absurd. But your best bet is just to let the laughts come. And they will, for the film is supremely silly, surreally senseless.
