list by Nusch

In this 1950s-set short film, 6-year-old Steven Gale (Evan Bonifant) fantasizes a personal connection with a television comedienne named Dottie Frank (Julie Halston). And Steven, who displays quite a few feminine traits, gets a chance to meet his heroine. While visiting the television studio where Dottie works, he sees her character receive a spanking, which is a lot for his young brain to assess. Todd Haynes (Far from Heaven) directs.
