Corporate film on the delights of the Homko Lawnmower. Good lawn mowing/suburban footage. Suburbia. Opens with excellent color footage of a rocket taking off from a launch pad. Good "easy" sales pitch in a hardware store (the salesman doesn't have to do a thing as the lawnmower literally sells itself to a young, white, well-dressed couple). Film is narrated by a silly, wise-cracking marionette of a blue bird (even goes so far as to wear a fishbowl over his head, calling it a space helmet). A & B are both answer prints, A being the better of the two.
