Enredo

A young man is calling for his first date with a girl when he is invited in to meet her parents. The sound track reveals not only the spoken conversation, but the unspoken thoughts of all the characters.

A young man picks his girlfriend up at her family home and meets her parents. The normal dialog occurs. However, what everyone it thinking occurs as voice-overs and it is hilarious. They all think exactly what you would expect. 40 years later I think of the film often and have lived both sides of the hidden dialog. Nominated for an Academy Award for best short, the film is well worth watching......If you can find it. I have been looking for years to buy a copy or find it in any form online.—hughlambert

In this clever dramatic short, a boy arriving to pick up his date gets stuck making inane small talk with the girl's parents. Humorous yet poignant, this classic film uses overlapping soundtracks to reveal the true thoughts of three people and to explore the nuances of spoken and unspoken communication.—Anonymous
