Scopitones: three-minute peepholes into a world where every day is a pool party, every girl is scantily clad, and every man expresses himself with song. One of the last iterations of movie jukeboxes, Scopitones enjoyed a brief but explosive moment in the sun in the early 60s. Capitalizing on the twist craze, rock 'n' roll, and the sexual revolution (boobs), Scopitones featured a dizzying array of long-forgotten acts and garish Technicolor production. Produced by Debbie Reynolds and distributed by the Mafia to shady night clubs the world over, they are quintessential camp.
This is a rare opportunity to experience a magnetic soundtrack, which is as hi-fi as film can be. The show is sourced from the Nyback Archive.
