This is a fairly straightforwardly compiled short feature but boy does it make your eyes water. It has assembled a whole range of half-wits who make their living doing things that most sane people can only watch in awe! Initially, it’s the wing-walkers strapped to aircraft made from balsa wood and sellotape that impress/bamboozle but as we progress through this hectically paced ten minutes, we realise that they might actually be the most sensible as others dangle from ropes below “gas-filled bags” or crawl into a box made of solid ice - or metal one that swiftly doubles up as a pizza oven. There’s the young Mildred who takes to the skies precariously and an array of gents who seem intent on risking life and limb by scaling buildings (with or without a blindfold) or walking on stilts twenty
