Webster & Associates too:

High waisted slacks were certainly in style back then.  Funny to see Webster wearing shades in the studio.  Also funny to see all the smoking in the studio - I don't think Rudy would have allowed that.  Great stuff.

Wow. Cool.

Looks like the film might have been slightly "undercranked". i.e shot at less than 24 frames per second.  Hence the slightly speed up look (e.g. Dizzy walking across room).

Why were these filmed?
