About the Films:

The Little Mariner: A True Fairy Tale (1966) - "A nonnarrated live action film about the dreams and ambitions of a young boy as he sails his small boat in Long Beach harbor. Among the many sights along the way are large ocean freighters, city skylines, beaches, breakwater construction, fishermen, Marineland seals, barges, a submarine and a land detour to a beach amusement park where the little sea captain almost loses his boat when the tide comes in." [dir. Mark Breslow] Runtime: 21m.

Babyswim (1979) - "An impressionistic look at a swim class for babies in the Bahamas. Aged 6 to 18 months, the babies are shown in swimming pools and in the ocean, by day and by night, on diving boards and on the coral reef. Shot mostly underwater and set to an original music score,it shows that infants have little fear of the element they knew so well before birth." [dir. Harriet Lynch, John Hoskyns-Abrahall] Runtime: 13m.

How Do They Make Baseball Gloves (1971) - "Jonathan Winters performs a baseball pitcher pantomime which leads into a sewing bee showing the startling amount of handwork done in making baseball gloves. From a series featuring Jonathan Winters, Jo Anne Worley, and Woody Allen." Runtime: 4m.
