Though told with tongue in cheek, it has considerable to say about loneliness in a busy world. The film takes a not undeserved poke at those psychoanalytical literary travelogues so popular today featuring the neurotic as hero, Mr Broughton reads the commentary while Weldon Kees, himself a poet and painter arranged and played the musical accompaniment."

Painted directly on film by Evelyn Lambart and Norman McLaren "On a sparkling screen of constantly changing colour, restless lines take momentary shapes and art immediately catapulted into other forms by the hurrying jazz accompaniment.

Brilliant cutting has been stepped up in tempo to a usage of pattern and object approximating the abstract film. Going beyond this, the camera itself has become activated, elliptic, and rhythmic."
