The Oil Refinery
The Oil Refinery
1966, English. Directed by Robert Swarthe.
A delightful spoof on industry-sponsored documentary films, this is a tongue-in-cheek documentary tribute to the oil refining industry as a symbol of American pride. The parody concepts of this film are so true to the banality of their subject of derision that many audiences may be unaware that this is a spoof, and react with patriotic pride to the tribute itself. In this way, the reaction of each audience to the film is potentially as whimsical as the film itself!
