Video for the Ava Zelafone song Like A Cat from their EP Un Deux Trois CAT. A real post-war Ava Zelafone fever dream – but a lot of fun for our lively avatar nevertheless! The video is an edited version of the 1956 promotional film Design for Dreaming by MPO Productions. The star of the film is none other than Carolyn Jones, who is perhaps best known for her role as Morticia Addams in the 1960’s television series The Addams Family. The dreamlike film is set at the 1956 General Motors Motorama event and provides a good illustration of mid-20th century gender roles and aspirational consumerism. |
