More filmed-curiosity than accomplished documentary short, but not without its cinematic moments—including gentle touches of cinéma vérité. It's the rehearsals that are the most entertaining, however: young faces that would age into successful acting-or-other careers performing satirical songs and sketches. There's also a brief sequence about censorship (the show didn't go on), but it seems more after-thought than incision. Overall, much like a time capsule, it's value depends on being opened in the future.
STS 58 ain't curtains.
Agnieszka Osiecka, 1958
