A cop named O'Mara? That wouldn't fly in today's PC world! Anyhow, I'm almost certain I saw my 2ed car in this flick!

Almost painfully sweet -- where's my insulin? But I remember days like this, and try to make them happen. Was this a motivational film for new Chevrolet employee orientation? How quaint, but timeless. Good score, Paul!

Nowadays this would be O'Mara's Chain of Creepy Interactions.

Mary Jones asks for pork chops and the butcher offers chicken. Great service.

I like to think that after his epiphany O'Mara just stands in the intersection waving rather than directing traffic and now insurance premiums in Miraceville are sky high.

I like to think this because I'm an asshole.

Presented for your approval a small town set appart from human nature. Where people are uniformly happy all the time.
You are traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!
