    <reviewbody>I enjoyed the simple  humour of this 3 minute b/w film..There are no actors,just natural ordinary people having fun.  Parodoxically,I find pleasure in the film,s poor technical production</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>Uhhhh, what the hell did I just see?

Since I am almost done viewing all there is too see here, I wasnt expecting anything out of the ordinary anymore. Then comes the Petaluma chicken film which just blows me away for being OUT there and being highly strange and makes me feel uncomfortable at the same time.
A group of women come up to Chef San Fransisco and present him with eggs! Uh, its strange already. Chef welcomes the girls to SF by saying My, those are wonderful beautiful white eggs! and suggests they make an omelet, while trying unsuccessfully to remember his lines. Next scene, the women are making the omelet! Theyre chatting away, while the good chef looks on. The chef offers milk to the eggs as well. Yes, the sexual implications of this is too ridiculous, I know. After that scene, we get the most bizarre cutaway to women excersising. Why? Who knows? But most of them are totally rhythm confused. After that scene, the girls are back cooking their omelet. 2 old codgers come on the screen. I think they might be from a egg group in California. Theyre too stunned to speak at the weirdness going on so they only get a few words out between the two of them. Anyways, the girls continue to cook the omelet as the film ends.

Very very bizarre. A MUST SEE on this site!</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>The other interesting thing here is that, to back up their claim that the eggs are good, they'll make a really big one. Big's good, right?</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>Petaluma was a magnet for socialist-leaning Jewish farmers from WW I through the 1950s -- there's a documentary (A Home on the Range) and a book (forget the title) about the community, which might seem unlikely but then again everyone was a farmer back then, or one generation off the farm, even the socialists.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>This promo was silly. Probably because of age, the film was dark and had many splices</reviewbody>
    <reviewtitle>Promo lays an egg.</reviewtitle>

    <reviewbody>. . . Butter &amp; Egg Days! This is clearly an old clip of one of the Butter &amp; Egg Day festivities. You can still attend the festival every Spring and witness the crowning of the Butter &amp; Egg Princess. Hooray for Dairy Royalty!&#13;
And yes, there was a large Jewish presence in Petaluma in those years. I have had the privilege of talking with some of these now elderly farmers. Quite a fascinating history.</reviewbody>
