bizarre screwball comedy from Brakhage

Fans of Brakhage might be surprised at this film, in which in Walter Newcomb, an early actor in Brakhage films, portrays a baby, who causes a bunch of mischief and grief to his parents and a visiting doctor.

One thing I didn't quite understand was the perspective; I couldn't tell whether Newcomb was supposed to be his own size or that of a baby, only with his features. There's a humorous exchange involving a whiskey bottle which is huge when Newcomb pushes it, implying he's the size of a baby but during the scene where he jumps on the bumper of a car, he's his normal size.

The acting is more comedic and over the top than one might expect from a 16mm film but otherwise the film humorous and enjoyable.
