The story is about a four year old boy (Charles Pachter) who is lost at the Canadian National Exhibition and, while trying to find his mother, wanders from location to location, meeting such famous people as Prime Minister Mackenzie King, Joe Louis, Barbara Ann Scott, Gonzilla the Gorilla, and so on. The boy is bewildered by the unfamiliar surroundings of machinery, buildings, people and animals. An EYEMO camera is used to create the impression that the spectacle of the fair is being seen through the boy's eyes.Original number:406791~N-1-5Detailed holdings information: -
