Find my lost movie:
Animated, claymation style, black and white around 1032 - 1936
Has sound (devil laughing in a sinister chortle). Story:
A drunk drops his nearly empty liquor bottle on the ground, which
leaks out a small puddle, which then stands up to become the devil,
who then walks over in front of a hole that represents the vacuum into
the hell void, into which then goes (between the devil's legs) a bunch
of "souls" represented by fruits and vegetables on dishes, etc.
Ever seen this short film? Know what the title is? I have been
looking for a long time. Had a portion of it on VHS at one time.
Nothing on IMDB. The folks there said I should look on some
surrealism movie web sites. I don't even know where to begin to look.
