Stored in humidity and temperature controlled environment. The communication-gap is widened by Bruna Kaufman and Silvie Meyers who small-talk their way through an evening at their profession or is it their pastime? Plot: Bruno Kaufman (Don Klugman) and Sylvie Meyers (Judy Harris) engage in rambling discussions as they attend a swinging bohemian party where they pilfer personal objects from the unsuspecting guests. Other conversations, including the quality of Moses' eyesight, psychic solitude, faulty memory, meditation, are but a prelude to screaming and running. The wrong person is arrested. The couple who have escaped to a small cub watch a peculiar love song, then retire to bed. The conversation twists into the merits of sincere insincerity, and the mechanical nature of bedsheets.It's as if Woody Allen was writing while tripping and stuck the script in a blender. Yet the film got the respect of the Chicago Film Archives which preserved the film with support from the National Film Preservation Foundation.
Veteran filmmaker Don Klugman was born in Chicago on Chicago 4/24/1933. From 1960 to 1963, he worked for Encyclopedia Britannica Films, in the old Wilmette bank building. During his tenure at EB, Warren Everote was his manager, and Milan Herzog was the production director.
Don and Joseph Wedeen were among those who wrote scripts for Ralph Buchsbaum's landmark Biology series, for EB, which also included directors such as Bert Van Bork and John Walker, and cinematographer Isidore Mankofsky. Don also wrote scripts for several of EB's social studies films.
Three years later, with the biology films nearing completion, Don left Chicago for New York City to write educational scripts for McGraw-Hill and for ACI Films, owned by fellow-USC-grad Stelios Roccos. Don was not happy with the New York lifestyle and production environment.
Returning to a more congenial Chicago scene, he made the three experimental/theatrical films for which he is best-known: Nightsong, I've Got This Problem and You're Putting Me On -- all recently restored with grants from the National Film Preservation Foundation. At the same time, he joined Mel Waskin and Bill Walker at Coronet Films, a division of Esquire Inc. And, during a seven-year stay, scripted nearly a hundred educational films.
In the 1970s Don left this nine-to-five job but continued to make films, on contract, for Coronet, EB, Nystrom and FilmFair. His personal favorites are Coronet's World War I and World War II series, FilmFair's American Indians film and United States Expansion - Texas and the Far Southwest for Coronet. During the 1980s, while free-lancing for Coronet and FilmFair, Don renewed his association with Britannica's Milan Herzog -- renting space in the Los Angeles studio that Herzog had built for EB and where Chuck Finance also had his office. In Chicago, he served the re-named Encyclopedia Britannica Educational Corporation in the Consumer Skills and Guidance areas.
Don's favorite film from this time is Consumer Economics and You, which uses music, dance and fantasy to explain basic economic principles. He fondly remembers the'Mission Third Planet' series in which a spaceman and a low-tech robot introduce children to life on earth.
As educational AV has declined, Don's work has transitioned to business education and corporate multimedia. Today, he writes and directs seminars, exhibits, sales training and business theatre, creating musical/dramatic/multimedia expositions for Duracell, Daifuku, General Motors and others. Recently, he joined the faculty of Columbia College Chicago. Teaching filmmaking and communication, Don Klugman continues to follow the path he entered at USC a half-century ago.

The video clip is done by re-photography, not a proper telecine: most of the flicker you see is from the crude video transfer. The clip is meant to be viewed in 1080 HD and includes photos of reel, cans, leaders, edge #s and all detected splices, which precede the film in twelve segments shown concurrently with full-frame segments interspersed. I strongly recommend viewing the video by clicking the Youtube icon, which will open a new window to view on youtube, and giving you better video controls than the imbedded player provides.Stills are screen grabs from Final Cut, de-interlaced by duplication, so the resolution is half as sharp as the film. Photographs of reels and cans are done on one inch pegboard background for scale. Leader / splice / edge # images made against fluorescent background and may vary slightly in color balance. Why do you charge so much? Because these are rare quality prints of historic films, fully white-glove inspected with all flaws disclosed.
Prints are from reliable distributors of the golden age of 16mm film (1950s-1980s), not from seconds houses, not from knock houses. Do I have to take the cans?They don't weigh that much compared to the film. Why is there foam padding in the cans? The foam is not archival and should be removed before storage. Why do the photos show a lot of reels and cans? I show both sides of all reels and both sides of each can half.
No, it will reflect the sale exactly. Can I take a long time to pay? Because Psycles is a solo operation and the Houdini PackagingT takes time. When will you leave feedback?
