Shots That Could Not Have Been Lost in the Cracks





It's more than "weird" -- it's creepy! Creepier still for the camera that followed it, the director who included it, the editor who condoned it, the producer who signed off on it, the broadcaster who aired it. I watched the entire Pippi Longstocking (1969) series as a seven-year-old and had no recollection of it.

Another "weird" low-angle shot that "escaped" numerous pre-screenings occurs in this outrageous-by-today's-standards NFB documentary Whistling Smith (1975), when Wilma arrives on the scene (8:37).
