Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This is not a great short film. Not at all. But it's not as bad as you would guess looking at its rating. I recognized that for quite a few of those old short films that were reviewed by Mystery Science Theatre 2000. People need to stop adapting other opinion with having watched a version where other reviewers constantly talk during the movie or having even seen it at all. MST3000 says it's bad, so it must suck. I've seen very early Kubrick films that were, in parts, worse than some of the short films mocked by MST3000. Don't you have an own mind?Anyway, in this 10-minute short famous Bonanza actor Lorne Greene tells us the story of a boy at the Canadian National exhibition two years after the end of World War 2. He's fed up with his parents getting him only from place to place that they actually want to see not really caring for their son's preferences. So he gets away and does what he wants for the rest of the day. On his voyage, he meets several grand sports champions, including boxing legend Joe Lewis and Barbara Ann Scott, until he returns to his parents in the evening, who already gave up finding him in the event visited by roughly 250,000 people.It's a short film with little significance today, but interesting to get a view into people's mindsets back in the 1950s. There's a good possibility that Charlie Pachter is still alive today (he would be roughly 70 years old) and I'm genuinely curious what he thinks about this film today.

CelluloidRehab This is a short that generally precedes the MST3k "Rebel Set" main feature. It revolves around a young boy, Johnny, who gets separated from his parents at the Canadian National Exhibition held at Exhibition Place in Toronto, Canada back in 1947. This separation, while mildly traumatic for the parents, was exhilarating and exciting for Johnny. In his "walk-about", he encounters all kinds of wonderful things and celebrities : Joe Louis (heavyweight boxing champion) , chemical balls, circus performers, speed boat racing, a "hela-copter airplane", McKenzie King (prime minister of Canada at the time), Barbra Ann Scott (Canadian ice skating champion), some Vaudevillians and children's jail.40's newsreel masquerading as a heart warming story or "real"? You decide, but don't skip to the main course if you're in the MST3k stew. Savor the flavor of a comical stew shared with the robots and Joel. A nice bourbon or single malt whiskey couldn't hurt while you're at it.

Lee Eisenberg Good, wholesome little boy goes with parents to fair, gets lost, and has all sorts of adventures. Yeah, we've seen this far too many times. "Johnny at the Fair" should be titled "Johnny at the Un-fair". And to think that Joe Louis got himself mixed up in this swill. No doubt the people of Canada are embarrassed that their country got portrayed like this (we can probably all agree that Michael Moore and the "South Park" guys have done a much better job looking at our northern neighbor). Fortunately, all is not lost: "MST3K" tore this movie apart. In their version, Johnny's negligent parents decide to abandon him.In conclusion, the movie by itself is 0/10, but the "MST3K" version is 10/10.

rbverhoef So this is a promotional short film made in the forties? It is hard to understand how this persuades people to go to the Canadian National Exhibition. It follows a little boy on the exhibition. His parents were not paying attention so they lost him. Now he is having fun on his own. The kid meets some sort of famous people and sees the things to do on the exhibition.In my opinion this short tells only one thing. It is so very crowded on the exhibition, you easily lose your kid. In other words, if you have kids it is better not to come. But then again, it does show the great things to see there. Right. 'Johnny at the Fair' is just another stupid short film, perfect for the MST3K-people to make fun it.
