How sad is this?

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

A man preoccupied with reading his Wall Street Journal goes into an antique store looking for a one-year-anniversary present for his wife. The old lady behind the counter gives him a bottle of perfume and warns him that it is "powerful," but he doesn't listen.....hence the quote at the top of my review.The surprise occurs when Mr. Strait-laced Businessman (as evidently portrayed here by cartoonist Bill Plympton) sees what happens after his hottie wife gets a whiff of the perfume.I don't want to spoil the ending. Suffice to say, other people enter the picture, such as a business boss our man wants to impress and it is pretty funny what happens, even if it is predictable. You'll laugh out loud in the last 30 seconds......guaranteed.This was another enjoyable early ('80s) Plympton cartoon (animated short) that was part of the DVD titled, "Plymptoons: The Complete Early Works Of Bill Plympton."
